Philip Bloom shot these video portraits with his 7D. It is not specified how the slow motion effect was achieved but I asked and will update the post once I know more…

Edit: it was 60p slowed to 24p.

This variable frame rate features opens a lot of possibilities.

As I said previously, once the 7D is available at large, I am already forecasting a deluge of ’slomo test’ clips on Vimeo… Still, this is cool.

One of the big advantage of the Canon 7D vs the 5D is the various frame rate you can shoot with. While for most people it means shooting at 24p to give their clip a more filmic look, shooting at 50 or 60p enable nice slow motions which in turn add to the creative aspect of a clip.

Here is a nice example of what the 7D is able to do.

Notes: the video submitter is not the person who shot it. The original video comes from this review fromRob Galbraith.
