Speed ramp effect

A wide pass at real time that slows through the centre of frame and speeds back out. a wide shot of a car entering frame along a quiet coast road at real speed with the background streaking, the clip easing down into slow motion as the car reaches the centre of frame so the wheels turn visibly and the dust behind it hangs in the air, held slow across the middle of the pass, then rising back to real speed as the car leaves frame so the dust snaps into a fast streak again, camera panning with the car throughout

A busy plaza at normal speed that eases into a crawl for one gesture, then resumes. a wide shot of a plain open plaza with people crossing at normal walking speed, the clip easing into slow motion as one figure near the centre lifts an arm so that gesture stretches out while every other walker also crawls in the same slowed time, held for a beat, then the whole frame accelerating back to normal walking speed in one continuous take, the pigeons lifting off fast again as the speed returns, locked wide camera

The clip opens in slow motion and accelerates to real time as the punch lands. a boxer in an empty gym mid-punch, the clip opening in deep slow motion with the glove crawling forward and the sweat drifting as separate drops, then accelerating smoothly up to real time across the last part of the reach so the glove snaps into the bag, the blur going from almost none to a hard streak in the same continuous take, the bag jolting at full speed, camera close on the glove

Normal speed on the throw, a crawl through the burst, full speed as the water drains away. a water balloon thrown down onto a concrete slab at normal speed, the clip easing hard into slow motion at the moment of contact so the skin peels back in slow sheets and the water holds its shape in the air as separate ribbons, then accelerating back to real time so the last of the water hits the slab fast and runs off blurred, one continuous take with no cut at either change, camera low and static

Real time until the board leaves the kerb, a slow crawl over the gap, real time on landing. a skater rolling along a bare car park at normal speed with ordinary motion blur, the whole clip easing down into a heavy crawl the moment the board leaves the kerb so the wheels turn slowly and the blur stretches into long soft smears, the skater hanging in the air for a stretched beat, then the speed snapping back to real time the instant the wheels touch down and the blur collapsing tight again, camera tracking level alongside

The same running figure, with the streaks lengthening as the speed drops and tightening as it lifts. a runner sprinting across a bare indoor track, camera panning with them, the background streaks short and hard at real time, the clip easing down into slow motion so the streaks stretch out long and soft and the arms separate into clear positions, then easing back up so the streaks tighten back to short hard smears, the runner never breaking stride and no cut anywhere in the change, one continuous pan

A wide whip where the background streaks lengthen into the slow section and tighten out of it. a wide shot panning fast across an empty warehouse floor with a standing figure at the far end, the background stretched into long horizontal streaks at real speed, the clip dropping into slow motion mid pan so the streaks pull out even longer and softer and resolve into readable shapes, then rising back to speed so the streaks collapse to short hard smears as the pan lands on the figure, one unbroken move

A pour at normal speed that eases down as the stream hits the cup, then returns to speed. a hand tipping a jug of milk over a cup on a plain kitchen counter at normal speed, the clip easing steadily down into slow motion as the stream reaches the rim so the falling milk separates into distinct beads and the surface rises in slow folds, held slow for a beat with every droplet legible, then returning to normal speed as the jug lifts away and the last of the stream falls fast and blurred again, locked close camera

A wide opening in slow motion that accelerates to real time as the rider pulls away. a wide shot of a cyclist on a dirt track, the clip opening in deep slow motion with individual grains of dust drifting up behind the rear wheel and the spokes turning slowly, then accelerating smoothly to real time across the shot so the dust becomes a single fast plume and the spokes blur into a disc, the rider pulling away down the track at full speed with no cut in the change, camera tracking wide from the side

A figure walks at speed, the turn of the head crawls, then the walk carries on at normal pace. a figure walking briskly along a plain corridor at normal speed, the clip dropping into slow motion just as they begin to turn their head so the turn crawls around and the hair lifts and settles slowly, held there for a beat, then the speed rising back to normal so the rest of the walk continues at full pace in the same unbroken take, the corridor lights streaking short again as the speed returns, camera tracking ahead of them
