With life whizzing by at a speed that seems difficult to keep up with, many marketers and film buffs are keen to shoot slow motion captures that give viewers a chance to relax. Whether it involves cats or surfers, everything looks better when taken down a notch.
The great thing about these videos is the high-tech cameras used to shoot the subjects. Most videos have so much detail that it's hard to believe so much goes on in the span of one second. Everything looks that much better with these slow motion captures, and even more impressive. Watching a cat climb a wall in slow-motion will blow your mind as it looks as though these felines are defying all laws of gravity. If you're curious as to how these little kitties do it, check out the slow motion captures to see for yourself.
