Tomorrow, Friday October 23, anyone in Vienna, Austria, can step onto a tennis court, hit a ball, and walk away with a cinematic super slow motion clip of themselves, captured by a camera robot at up to 1,000 frames per second. It is free, there is no registration, and you just stop by.<\/p>\n
We are calling it Your Shot, and the idea is simple. Red carpet events have the Glambot<\/a>, that robotic arm that swings past celebrities and turns a half-second pose into a dreamy slow motion moment. We built one for tennis \u2013 and call it Grand Slambot. On Friday, from 1 to 5pm, a Bolt Jr high-speed camera robot carrying a\u00a0Pixboom Spark<\/a>\u00a0will be waiting at the Wiener Athletiksport Club in the Prater.<\/p>\n How it works<\/p>\n You show up, you get a racket in your hand, and you hit a ball while the Grand Slambot sweeps past you in a repeatable, pre-programmed move. The Spark records the moment at roughly 1,000 frames per second, which stretches a split second of impact into several seconds of footage: the ball compressing on the strings, the racket flexing, your face doing whatever faces do at the moment of contact. Afterwards, you receive a QR code, and once the clip is processed you download it and share it wherever you like.<\/p>\n No tennis skills are required. The robot does the hard part, and a slightly awkward swing in super slow motion looks at least as good as a perfect one. Children and adults are both welcome, and if you are a member of the club, bring your friends.<\/p>\n Your Shot is part of a bigger project. CineD and MZed are producing a free course on high-speed filmmaking in partnership with Pixboom, the company behind the Spark, and Friday doubles as the shoot for the lesson on sports and motion control. Our production partner\u00a0MXR Productions<\/a>\u00a0turns the court into a real set for the day: the Bolt Jr with its own motion control operator, a camera crane, an ARRI ALEXA 35 for the behind-the-scenes, and proper lighting. In other words, this is a working high-speed production that you get to walk into and take part in.<\/p>\n For us, the day answers a question we have been circling for months. Cameras like the Spark have moved cinema-grade slow motion from six-figure rental packages to something a small crew can set up on a tennis court, and we wanted to show what that looks like in practice rather than on a spec sheet. We tested a beta unit of the camera\u00a0earlier this year<\/a>, and Friday is the first time we put the production version to work in front of an audience.<\/p>\n By taking part, you agree that the footage may appear in the course and in the campaign around it. Your own clip is yours to keep and share.<\/p>\n Friday, October 23, from 1 to 5pm, at the Wiener Athletiksport Club (WAC), Rustenschacherallee 9, 1020 Vienna, a short walk from the Prater Hauptallee. Entry is free and no registration is needed, just come by during the afternoon. For more information on the camera, please visit the\u00a0Pixboom website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Come by on Friday, hit a ball, and claim your shot. Who do you want to see in super slow motion? Don\u2019t hesitate to let us know in the comments below!<\/p>\n Disclaimer: This event is part of a paid collaboration between Pixboom and CineD & MZed. We are creating a free high-speed filmmaking course, and the tennis event will be one part of the final course. The free course will be made available during 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tomorrow, Friday October 23, anyone in Vienna, Austria, can step onto a tennis court, hit a ball, and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":936901,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[64,63,227039,5946,503672,190320,503674,503670,503671,218210,85,747,34187,503673],"class_list":["post-936900","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bolt","tag-event","tag-high-speed-filmmaking","tag-motion-control","tag-mxr-productions","tag-mzed","tag-pixboom-spark","tag-slow-motion","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-vienna","tag-your-shot"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/936900","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=936900"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/936900\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/936901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=936900"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=936900"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=936900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Your_Shot_Article_16x9-900x506.jpg\")
