[edit] Information

Unseen Universe: Series 1 In the blink of an eye an ear-blistering explosion rips through a quarry. A wooden shed is torn apart as if touched by an invisible force. What happened? The events unfold at such a speed, that we haven’t had time to register the details. But using digital high-speed Weisscams, we can slow down time. Suddenly the powers at work are revealed: a shockwave spreads out from the heart of the explosion like a glass dome, blowing the shed apart like a house of cards. And it’s all invisible to the naked eye. This two-part documentary goes in pursuit of the invisible – a world so alien to us, that at times we find it hard to recognise it as our own. Seeing the world in super-slowmotion allows us to explain mysteries of science and explore super-fast phenomena. It is a cinematic expedition into the incredible world of invisible movement.

[edit] Hidden Revelations

The first of a two-part documentary offering an insight into natural phenomena that can't always be seen with the naked eye. Scientists use state-of-the-art slow-motion cameras to explore what is really happening during an explosion, how dogs move and how different birds of prey fly.

[edit] In the Blink of an Eye

In Part two of two. Scientists use state-of-the-art slow-motion cameras to explore what is really happening when a bee hovers, a boxer punches and a small bird flies.
