I think that this has to do with the frames per second that the phone can capture. a similarly unique video can be made if you record the propeller(s) on a single or double engine aircraft. this was a lot more fun to look at though.. and I really liked the song!

ahaha this is so beautiful

Invocations (promote) cannot be called by turboj0e because turboj0e is not privileged - sorry.

yeah, i didnt think so. I still dont know how to promote

yeah it's an aliasing effect combined with a distortion effect caused the way the camera scans the picture. Ain't no string ever vibrated with angles like this: http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/6086/guit.png

thats cool as hell

Nyquist Theorem at play here folks.
Brilliant example.

What we are seeing in the camera is an alias of the true waveform, limited (as previous commentators have noted) by the sampling rate of the capture device (Cameras frame rate).

This is similar to the way car wheels/ceiling fans can appear to be stationary or rotating in reverse on video.

Why is nobody crying fake? C'mon! It looks fake! Are there other videos with this effect happening?

Because the phenomenon is a very well understood and documented real behavior of digital information systems?

Thanks for that illuminating response.</sarcasm>

How about actually saying something useful if you are going to respond to a question?

Like this: The reddit discussion about the video contains a number of interesting links with other examples of the Rolling Shutter phenomenon, including a video which shows how guitar strings actually oscillate.

If you read two posts above your original one, I provided a link that describes the mathematical theorem behind this phenomenon.....suitable link, wouldnt you think?

Clearly fake. Never saw a cellphone in a guitar.
