PopSci Slo-Mo
Seamus the puppy shows what a good boy he is! Isn't Seamus a good boy?

For this week's movie, we turned to the staff of the paper edition of Popular Science for help. That's right: this cuddly puppy is the Deputy Editor of the magazine.

In this video, see him drinking water AND rolling over -- two critical skills, performed with fuzzy aplomb for your enjoyment.

In 2008, Popular Science named Vision Research's Phantom V12 slow-motion video camera one of the best products of the year. This summer, we drove out to the headquarters of Vision Research in New Jersey to talk to the Phantom folks, see firsthand how the cameras are manufactured -- and ultimately borrow a camera to really get a feel for how it works.

We took the v641 for a bit of a spin, shooting a series of delightful slow motion videos of subjects including fireworks, knives slicing through fruit, and puppies frolicking. All of these will be posted for your delectation, on a weekly basis.

Wonderful! Dogs and puppies own my heart! I adore the video! Thanks for showing it!

My 3 year old daughter really loved watching this. :-)

stupid video. you probably only posted it so we'd be forced to watch an advert video. well i don't fall for it, i mute them and continue doing other things until it plays.

@ BubbaGump that looks alot like your dog!

@hatandboots. My dog is half Maltese and half Silky Terrier. This dog seems to be a pure breed. My dog can fetch a toy all day long and has white crazy untamed hair on its face and has multi colors going towards it tail in shades of white, brown, and black. This dog hair seems cute and comb. I like the video. I think this dog is cute. I like all dogs in general. Thanks for thinking of my dog.

That's a norfolk terrier, like the little guy in my picture.

Puppies are cute anyway, but put them in slow motion and they're so much more cute!
