        That’s a very good point - one I perhaps wish I’d realised myself 20 minutes ago.

        [Edit] People also like sped-up footage of things being destroyed though, right?

      High speed refers to the shutter speed in a camera – how quickly it can take frames. Slow motion footage is taken in a high speed camera. It’s just a weird quirk of language.

        Stupidly enough, I actually know this, and know it very well :(

        I just took it as:
        High speed | camera footage
        i.e. camera footage, playing at high speed.

        Instead of:
        High speed camera | footage i.e. footage from a high speed camera

        I am ashamed.
