SCENE 01 / HIGH SPEED FILMING
High Speed Filming
Capture stunning slow motion with Phantom cameras and precision motion control in Colombia.
High-speed filming captures action at extreme frame rates, producing dramatic slow-motion footage that reveals details invisible to the naked eye. This technique powers Colombia's rapidly growing commercial sector — from Bogotá coffee and beverage product campaigns to Medellín fashion and cosmetics spots, football sports analysis, and creative sequences for Latin American brands.
We source high-speed cameras from Bogotá and Medellín rental houses with the specialized lighting and data workflows these shoots demand. Our team coordinates experienced operators at TIS Studios (75% Paramount), RCN Studios (largest soundstage in Latin America), and Caracol Studios — with productions eligible for the CINA tax credit and up to 40% through Colombia's Film Law incentive.

Phantom Veo and Flex 4K imported via DIAN ATA carnet for Bogotá and Medellín commercial work
Here is how this works in practice. High-speed filming in Colombia remains a specialty discipline — Phantom Veo and Phantom Flex 4K bodies are imported via DIAN ATA carnet from Mexico City, Los Angeles or São Paulo for headline campaigns rather than held in-country full-time, with Cinetech Bogotá and Imagen Latina handling the receiving, calibration and on-stage delivery to TIS Studios, RCN Studios and the independent Bogotá soundstages servicing Latin American commercial work.
Our DIT and high-speed crews run the Vision Research bodies for coffee pours on Juan Valdez and Café Quindío campaigns, beverage splash work on Bavaria and Postobón briefs, automotive product detail on Renault Sofasa Envigado factory shoots, cosmetics and beauty cutdowns for L'Oréal Colombia and Belcorp Esika, and the Encanto-era Disney+ and Netflix Latam commercial spillover that arrived in Bogotá's commercial pipeline after the 2021 feature's success introduced global agencies to Colombian crews and talent.
Wespi-Romain and Mark Roberts Milo motion-control rigs sit alongside the Phantom packages on the larger campaigns, with bolted-down robotic arms providing repeatable passes for product-detail work where the camera, product and lighting must lock to the frame across dozens of identical takes. Bogotá soundstage configurations at TIS Studios (75% Paramount-owned), RCN's Latin American flagship soundstage and the independent Estudios Punch and Cinemateca venues provide controlled lighting environments with the flicker-free HMI and LED packages — ARRI SkyPanel S60-C, S360-C, Aputure Nova P600c and Litepanels Gemini fixtures — that 1000fps capture demands.
Our DIT crews manage the multi-terabyte daily transfers from Phantom CineMag IV and CineMag V cards to LTO-9 archive and on-set NAS, with bilingual on-set colour scientists pre-baking looks against the eventual DI grade at LAMUVI Films Bogotá, Colour Studio and Enjoy Digital. Productions claim the 40% Film Law incentive and 35% CINA tax credit through Proimágenes Colombia on qualifying camera, lighting and DIT spend, with DIAN ATA carnet paperwork handling the customs round-trip on imported gear.
FAQ
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 Colombian commercial, sports, or documentary 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 Bogotá and Medellín rental partners. These are often combined with high-speed cameras for Colombian coffee commercials, beverage shoots, and fashion campaigns.
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 RCN Studios, TIS Studios, or on Colombian location shoots.
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, coffee and beverage commercials, football sports sequences, automotive footage, scientific documentation, and any subject where revealing hidden motion adds visual impact.
