Behind the Scenes of a Phantom Flex4K Shoot: Lighting with the Forza 500

Behind the Scenes of a Phantom Flex4K Shoot: Lighting with the Forza 500

Posted by Kelly Mena on Jun 15th 2020

In this video, Dave Geffin takes us through the behind the scenes of a super slow motion shoot shot with the Phantom Flex4K camera that can shoot up to 1000 frames per second! In this footage you’ll see our crew light both a professional dancer and marital artist with the Nanlite Forza 500, which proved to be bright enough to light these slow motion shots.


As you may know, shooting at higher frames rates requires a great deal of light and occasionally some LEDs will introduce some flickering issues. The Nanlite Forza 500 was not only bright enough to light these scenes but it didn’t cause any flickering issues at all!

Watch as our crew shoots 300, 500, 800, and 1000 frames per second with the Phantom Flex4K camera!
