Gitarrensaiten mit erkennbaren Schwingungsformen

Ein sehr faszinierendes Video, passend zu den diese Woche bereits geposteten Videos von hängenden Becken in slow-motion. Allerdings kommt der Effekt durch rolling shutter-Technik zustande und ist darum nicht unbedingt ein physikalisch korrektes Bild der Saitenschwingungen.

I just happened upon this trick when testing what it was like filming from inside my guitar. *Note this effect is due to the rolling shutter, which is non-representative of how strings actually vibrate.

Tips:
• You must have the strings brightly backlit to get the camera to capture at such a high frame rate (pure conjecture). You can see how the effect fades when the buildings come into view.
• Use a pencil
*This was used with the front facing camera, try the back camera, it may capture better!

There is a heated discussion with *real science* over at reddit
