This
video clip makes visible something that would never be noticed in
real time. A water toy, which resembled a water balloon was thrown
towards the floor. With the naked eye, the toy seemed to slightly
deform and bounce back up. However, with this video, it is apparend
that the toy actually completely compresses against the ground before
bouncing back up. The toy stretches and deforms more than the naked
eye could ever see. The framerate for this video was 2000 frames/sec,
and the shutter speed was 5X, or 1/10000th of a second.
