SCENE 01 / HIGH SPEED FILMING
High Speed Filming
Capture stunning slow motion with Phantom cameras and precision motion control in Portugal.
High-speed filming captures action at extreme frame rates, producing dramatic slow-motion footage that reveals details invisible to the naked eye. This technique is used in Portugal for wine and Port product commercials, Primeira Liga football and surfing sports analysis, automotive campaigns, and creative sequences for European brands drawn to Portugal's 30% tax rebate and diverse locations.
We source high-speed cameras from Lisbon rental houses with specialized lighting and data workflows. Our team coordinates experienced operators at Tage Studios (Palmela — Europe's first all-green studio), MovieBox Studios (Algarve, with water stages), Loudness Films, and Digital Azul — leveraging Loudness Films' Dolby Atmos stage and BaseLight grading for seamless post-production.

FAQ
High Speed Expertise
What frame rates can you achieve?
Our Phantom cameras can capture up to 1,000+ fps at 4K resolution, with higher frame rates available at reduced resolutions. We'll recommend the optimal frame rate and resolution balance for your Portuguese commercial, sports, or feature shoot.
What's the difference between Phantom camera models?
The Phantom Flex 4K offers the highest resolution at extreme speeds, while the VEO series provides excellent performance at a more accessible price point. We'll recommend the right camera based on your resolution, speed, and budget requirements.
Do you provide Bolt or motion control rigs?
Yes, we work with Bolt and similar high-speed robotic camera systems through Lisbon rental partners. These are often combined with high-speed cameras for Portuguese Port wine commercials, beverage shoots, and automotive campaigns — all eligible for the 30% tax rebate.
What about lighting for high-speed filming?
High-speed cameras require significantly more light than standard filming. We design and supply flicker-free HMI and LED packages sized for your frame rate — whether at Tage Studios, MovieBox Algarve, or on location in Lisbon, Porto, and Sintra.
How much data does high-speed filming generate?
High-speed filming generates very large files — a single take can be many gigabytes. Our DIT services manage this data workflow with proper backup, organization, and delivery in your required formats.
What applications are best for high-speed filming?
High-speed filming excels for liquid and splash photography (Port wine commercials), product shots, Primeira Liga football and surfing sequences, automotive footage, tourism campaigns, and any subject where revealing hidden motion adds visual impact.
