With a brief to capture the high quality of Sony Action Cam’s slow-motion, Amsterdam director/artist duo Lernert Engleberts and Sander Plug turn to what they call the epitome of slow, “The camera is so simple to use that it could even be used by a turtle, which is how the concept came about.”
“The everyday life of a turtle is shockingly boring, especially if you were to film it. The dogs add action, but the capability of the camera retains the turtle’s slowed perspective. It’s able to capture the glorious slow motion of the dogs’ bouncing hair as they race down the track, as well as the glorious photo finish.”
