Frozen Reality
Frozen Reality (German frozen reality ) is a photographic recording technique that makes it possible to freeze fast processes (ultra-short-term sequences) and move around these frozen processes with the camera . This is made possible by a camera arrangement with many cameras that are positioned around the object to be recorded and are triggered simultaneously by a special circuit controlled by the object. Fast processes that take place within a millionth of a second can be recorded and visualized exactly at the crucial moment . Examples are a bursting balloon or the impact of a projectile .
There are similar techniques that are used in film, but the difference with frozen reality technology is, among other things, the recording of ultra-short-term events and the object-controlled trigger circuit that is absolutely necessary for this. In addition, with this technique, intermediate images are interpolated by computer . The application is primarily in the field of science and research. Due to the aesthetics of the images, it is also used in the artistic field or in advertising.
