High Speed Filming
Capture stunning slow motion with Phantom cameras and precision motion control in Malta.
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 Malta for automotive commercials, Mediterranean tourism campaigns, water-based action sequences leveraging Malta's legendary water tanks, and creative shoots for international productions drawn to Malta's 40% rebate and location versatility.
We source high-speed cameras from Malta Film Studios (Mediterranean Film Studios) and Malta Film Facilities with specialized lighting and data workflows. Our team coordinates experienced operators who have worked on Gladiator, Troy, and Game of Thrones — leveraging one of Europe's largest water tanks for spectacular high-speed splash and marine shots, plus Valletta and Mdina heritage locations.

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 Maltese commercial, feature, or water tank 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 Malta Film Studios rental partners. These are especially valuable for Maltese water tank work, splash shots, and automotive commercials against Mediterranean backdrops.
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 Malta Film Studios' water tanks or on location across Malta and Gozo.
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 (Malta's water tanks are perfect), product commercials, Mediterranean action sequences, automotive footage, scientific documentation, and any subject where revealing hidden motion adds visual impact.
