Okay... just saw that I made myself look silly... I for some reason had only read the first page of posts in this thread and not realised someone had already mentioned the Casio EX-F1.
The 60 fields per second HD recording mode means, I'm supposing, 1920x1080i (30 frames per second), and not 1080p.
If you can be satisfied with only one second of footage, though, 60 frames per second at high resolution (6 megapixels) is pretty impressive!
For discussion on high(er)-end high speed digital video, I believe that some systems allow you to "bring your own hard drive" - plug it in, fill it up (record directly to your drive), take it home and deal with the vast volumes of data later.
I got tired of this conversation going back and forth so i went out and did something.
here is a clip shot today in the park on the EX1 at 60/30 fps which after conforming to PAL then slowing down in after effects has an acceptable slo mo of 288 fps.
sorry it was out of focus - I have one arm in a sling at the moment
so, who has a space?
I'm thinking of blagging a reflecmedia screen and talking some sweet thing into letting us spray her with water while she dances...
SUPER COOL!!
been gagging to play w reflecmedia...
i can suggest Fat Butcher as a venue...he has access to a concrete floored warehouse...
my friend who i'm having dinner with tonight is an exotic dancer...she's off to ibiza next week so we could use her skills before she goes
Cool gary..will call ya tomorro
Just talked w Fat Butcher...he's cool for us to use his space
The girl is leaving in 2 weeks from today...and will be away for a month
I have a couple of guys who may be interested also to go on camera...depends on final ideas
Would be great to have some rough concept to work with so we can do a bit of post prod and use for showreels and submit to festivals.
Can watch that PLEX video w dogs for days...
Liking the idea of vibrant colours used in the SONY Brava ads...maybe using brightly coloured paints, plastic, post-it notes
Let's storm it!

looks like me and Mr Prick Image will be round at Fat Butcher's sometime later next week for a Day of slow motion.
anyone who wants to come and join in put your hands up.
we will be getting our shit together this weds at the regular meet/booze up.
we have plenty of kit. ideas, hands and models is what we need help with...
on that point, the EX1 is solid state, so we will need to regularly dump to disc while shooting. anyone who wants to take footage with them when they leave, will need to bring a mac compatible HDD and will need the XDCAM codecs to work on the content. otherwise it can be re-rendered to some other form but this will all take time...
it would be handy to have someone willing to help manage the data as its created.
