SCENE 01 / HIGH SPEED FILMING
High Speed Filming
Capture stunning slow motion with Phantom cameras and precision motion control in Hungary.
High-speed filming captures action at extreme frame rates, producing dramatic slow-motion footage that reveals details invisible to the naked eye. This technique is extensively used in Hungary for automotive commercials, luxury product campaigns, water polo and football sports analysis, and creative sequences for the international productions that have made Budapest a European production hub.
We source high-speed cameras from Budapest's established rental houses with specialized lighting and data workflows. Our team coordinates experienced operators at Korda Studios (Europe's largest purpose-built studio), Origo Studios, Stern Studios, and MAFILM Studios — leveraging Hungary's 30% tax rebate and crews proven on Dune, Blade Runner 2049, and The Witcher for world-class high-frame-rate capture.

Phantom Veo and Flex 4K imported via NAV ATA carnet through Pannonia Cine Service Budapest
Here is how this works in practice. High-speed filming in Hungary runs on the Phantom Veo and Phantom Flex 4K. Bodies that arrive in Budapest under NAV (Nemzeti Adó- és Vámhivatal) ATA carnet imports handled by Pannonia Cine Service Budapest, Origo Film Group Gear and Filmtörténet VFX whenever a commercial campaign or VFX-plate shoot needs the 1000-frames-per-second 4K capture window. The Phantom Veo 640 and Veo 4K-PL cover tighter rigging windows on tabletop set-ups; the Flex 4K handles the wider hero-product and automotive plates.
Here is the short of it. Korda Studios Etyek (Stage 6 at 5,500m² is one of Europe's largest sound stages), Origo Studios Budapest, Pannonia Film Studio and the Mafilm Studios tricky all host high-speed configurations on a regular basis. With HMI and SkyPanel S360-C, S60-C and X-class LED flicker-free packages sized for the higher light-output demands that high frame rates need. On-set DIT crews handle the multi-terabyte daily data transfers between stage. The Digic Pictures, UPP Budapest and Post Republic post houses. NMHH range coordination clears any wireless monitoring links. ONYF and Magyar Államkincstár workplace insurance records covers all crew positions before a Phantom turns over.
Here is the breakdown. Commercial pipelines drive the Phantom booking calendar. Hungarian heritage brand campaigns. Túró Rudi (Friesland Campina Hungária), Pick salami, Unicum aperitif (Zwack), Magyar Államkincstár national treasury, Magyar Posta, OTP Bank, MOL and the Hungarian Lottery (Szerencsejáték Zrt.). Book Phantom Flex 4K hero-product shots through Budapest agency offices including Cap Gemini Hungary creative, McCann Erickson Budapest, Y&R Hungary, Ogilvy Budapest and DDB Hungary.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Cross-border automotive work for Audi Hungaria (Győr), Mercedes-Benz Manufacturing Hungary (Kecskemét), Suzuki Hungary (Esztergom) and BMW Hungary (Debrecen factory opening in 2025) routes Phantom + Bolt Cinebot motion-control packages through Hungaroring circuit time. The 30% Hungarian Tax Rebate via the Hungarian National Film Institute (HNFF) applies to qualifying high-speed feature, drama and documentary spend. Dune, Blade Runner 2049 and The Witcher all booked Phantom slates through Budapest for their VFX-plate elements. Our coordinators handle the NAV ATA paperwork, customs broker liaison and CSA-equivalent electrical inspection sign-offs that high-amp HMI packages need before flicker-free capture starts.
FAQ
High Speed Expertise
What frame rates can you achieve?
Our Phantom cameras can capture up to 1,000+ fps at 4K resolution, with higher frame rates available at reduced resolutions. We'll recommend the optimal frame rate and resolution balance for your Hungarian commercial, sports, or feature shoot.
What's the difference between Phantom camera models?
The Phantom Flex 4K offers the highest resolution at extreme speeds, while the VEO series provides excellent performance at a more accessible price point. We'll recommend the right camera based on your resolution, speed, and budget requirements.
Do you provide Bolt or motion control rigs?
Yes, we work with Bolt and similar high-speed robotic camera systems through Budapest rental partners. These are often combined with high-speed cameras for Hungarian automotive commercials, luxury product shots, and beverage campaigns — all eligible for the 30% rebate.
What about lighting for high-speed filming?
High-speed cameras require significantly more light than standard filming. We design and supply flicker-free HMI and LED packages sized for your frame rate — whether at Korda Studios, Origo Studios, or on location across Hungary.
How much data does high-speed filming generate?
High-speed filming generates very large files — a single take can be many gigabytes. Our DIT services manage this data workflow with proper backup, organization, and delivery in your required formats.
What applications are best for high-speed filming?
High-speed filming excels for liquid and splash photography, product commercials, water polo and football sports sequences, automotive footage, scientific documentation, and any subject where revealing hidden motion adds visual impact.
