You'd have to put a lot of money on a phantom if you wanted to buy one!

Man, that looks so good. You can catch a glimpse of one of the cameras around 3:15.

Good call, the film was shot by Brain Farm Cinema.

"We own and operate the new Phantom HD Gold high-speed camera system. The Phantom HD shoots ultra slow motion with 35mm depth of field either at HD or 2K resolutions. It is the ultimate specialty camera for capturing rapidly moving action and slowing it way down to give an innovative new look to any project. It allows you to select any frame rate from 1 to 1,052 fps in increments of one frame per second at full 1080p HD resolution. With the Phantom's shutter, variable to 1/500,000 second, and adjustable framing rates, you have seamless control of the duration, speed and time of a story piece.

Here's their Phantom reel, their first reel's pretty cool, too.

ahh...the film was well done. The phantom cameras are really sick, but super expensive. I'd love to get into high-speed cinematography. too bad the cost is out of my reach.
