Slow motion (commonly abbreviated as slowmo) is an effect in film-making whereby time appears to be slowed down. It was invented by the Austrian priest August Musger.
Typically this style is achieved when each film frame is captured at a rate much faster than it will be played back. When replayed at normal speed, time appears to be moving more slowly. The technical term for slow motion is overcranking which refers to the concept of cranking a handcranked camera at a faster rate than normal (i.e. faster than 24 frames per second). Slow motion can also be achieved by playing normally recorded footage at a slower speed. This technique is more often applied to video subjected to instant replay, than to film. A third technique that is becoming common using current computer software post-processing (with programs like Twixtor) is to fabricate digitally interpolated frames to smoothly transition between the frames that were actually shot. Motion can be slowed further by combining techniques, interpolating between overcranked frames. The traditional method for achieving super-slow motion is through high-speed photography, a more sophisticated technique that uses specialized equipment to record fast phenomena, usually for scientific applications.
[Chorus:]
I'm going...
Slow motion is the verb
Slow motion is the verb
We're moving out to right side to side
Slow motion is the verb
Slow motion is the verb
I'm gone
So you know when I'll get home
We're gonna make that bed rock
... got me twisted like a dreadlock
Twisting to that... music
It's gonna make your head pop
I'm here with my dogs
And if you... we'll let that... pop
I'm drunk but I got my people with me
Same niggers that... with me
That 45 I keep it with me
Everything is moving slow
You see that purple spider?
It's just a purple wee
I'm on the crib tonight
I'm moving nasty
I'm moving left to right
And it ain't hard to see
That I'm feeling right
So niggers pass the weed
[Chorus]
You got me banging
Swaging
All over the... slow mo'
... from the dip
And the pain too sweet
I never see them get a red light
And I go slow motion
When I'm in the top head
I never see the heads up
I go post the postman
I got... connects the way spa
And I'm sitting on a pint
So you know I say roll them on the...
[Chorus]
You see that purple spider?
It's just a purple wee
I'm on the crib tonight
I'm moving nasty
I'm moving left to right
And it ain't hard to see
That I'm feeling right
So niggers pass the weed
