Watching things in slow motion gives us a whole different perspective. All of a sudden, regular things that we took for granted become pure works of art. Ryan McIntyre of CineSpeed played with some vintage flashbulbs and a high-speed camera to create one such artwork. Shooting at 100,000fps, he made the bursting flashbulbs look otherworldly, almost like supernovas.
