Anti-grav helicopter
April 14th, 2008
Here’s a neat video of an attack helicopter that appears to have some top-secret anti-gravity technology – watch as it floats through the air with the blades motionless.
Is it a trick? A model? No – the camera operator has synced the frames-per-second of their camera to the rotational speed of the helicopter blades. The result is that every time the video camera captures a single frame, the blades are in the same position as the last frame. The effect is that the blades appear motionless.

The camera operator must have some serious free time at home. Did he actually think that people would believe it was an anti-graivty helicopter, especially with the audio? If he had some creativity he would have laid down a Star Wars fighter sound effect to the helicopter as it moved…… wait…..that would not have worked either…..

I don’t think that the camera man was trying to fool anyone into thinking anything. Having worked in film before, it’s the novelty of the entire thing that he was aiming for.
