Meet the Pixboom Spark: A Compact Super 35 Global Shutter High-Speed Cinema Camera


It’s not everyday that we have news of an exciting new cinema camera from an innovative new brand to share, so we’re excited for this one today. Announced on the company’s website, Pixboom has officially unveiled the Spark project, a new compact Super 35 global shutter cinema camera that is set to be able to capture 1000 fps video at full 4K resolution.

While still in development, Pixboom has officially launched a website that gives more details and promises to share updates on the Spark project, plus has confirmed more specs, features, and details about this exciting new camera.

Introducing the Pixboom Spark


While we don’t have too much to go off of from the Pixboom website just yet, we do get the promise of some taglines that give some indications of what the Spark project is going to be all about. “Unleash the power of slo-mo,” and “freeze the moment” seem to indicate that the Pixboom Spark is here to bring “a revolution in (slow) motion.”

In a blog post, Pixboom shares a bit of history as the team indicates:

“We set off a few years ago with the ambition to bring new technology to filmmaking. To allow creators to imagine new possibilities and to bring never-before-seen perspectives to audiences around the world. We believe in the power of getting closer to open people's eyes wider.

From arthouse to action, dramas to documentaries, social posts to sci-fi epics, filmmaking is a vital part of culture. It’s how people everywhere express their creativity and tell remarkable stories.

We've pioneered a camera that fuses innovation with imagination, and celebrates purposeful play. We’re setting out to inspire filmmakers of all levels and backgrounds to get up close and personal to electrifying moments and redefine storytelling.” — Pixboom.

“Whether you’re shooting your first short or the next blockbuster, we want to inspire you to catapult culture.

It’s time for you to join us on our journey, we’ve come this far but to realize our ambition we’ll need your help. Technology is nothing if it isn’t useful for those it was designed. So let’s finish shaping our camera together and show the world the new possibilities of slow motion.” — Pixboom.
