Grizzly Bear Eats GoPro Camera

May 172013

Brad Josephs was on mission to in Alaska to catch incredible footage of bears for the Great Bear Stakeout for the BBC and Discovery.

Brad set up his trusty GoPro camera against a rock with a rubber band where he thought he would capture the most bear action. He couldn’t have asked for better footage.

In the video, an older mother walks by followed by a curious three year old cub. The cub proceeds to nearly eat the GoPro camera, but amazingly, there was no damage to the equipment.

May 152013

America cheered as One World Trade Center was just recently completed. As the last piece of the tower was the spire, the Port Authority attached a GoPro camera to the piece as it was lifted to the tippy-top of the tower to document the special event.

The New York Times crunched the nine minute video into this just as equally terrifying time lapse.

Homemade GoPro Camera Array Creates Stunning Matrix-Style ‘Bullet Time’ Visuals

Mar 162013

When The Matrix debuted back in 1999, the stunning visuals–commonly referred to as ‘bullet time‘ special effects–blew the world away. Their state of the art camera techniques have since been copied, parodied, and spoofed countless times by Hollywood.

But for years, only the big studios with even bigger budgets could create such dazzling images. Now that technology is only accelerating at ever greater speeds, small time artists and producers can replicate the effects.

Just take Marc Donahue, who created stunning ‘bullet time’ visuals with his homemade array of GoPro cameras. The shutter speeds aren’t perfectly synced, but that only results in even more interesting visuals.

The project was covered more in depth on FStoppers. Now, the week old video stands with over 30,000 views, and is only picking up viral momentum.
