Not a lot of footage. In fact the whole 3 minute video technically only took about 12 to 14 seconds of recording time. But due to modern technology, the result is some of the smoothest slow-motion Ive ever seen!

The video was shot with the intent of making a short item out of it. Yes, the technology is an awesome factor, but (at least to me) the subject is what it was all about...
Remember after Avatar how all 3D movies have been criticized... the technique must serve the art
Aside from the content of the film, there is a HUGE difference between shooting 1000fps and a Y5 camera vs shooting 50i and using Twixtor. The quality difference is steak and chewing gum.
The other link you posted is a promo puff piece for the phantom. Think of Jarno's piece as a puff piece for the Y5 if you'd rather.

Very evident at 11 seconds in on that Youtube link, you can see pure blur on the planes prop.
granpasc, the camera that was being used for this was very high-end kit that required a laptop and ideally a 3 man team (though, our shooter, Ciamac, was good enough he did it himself). Plus like Spot says, it was a fun tech demo shoot and also helped Ciamac build up his portfolio. One of the clips Jarno didn't have was of a swooper toe dragging the pond and making a beautiful rooster tail; you could see each individual droplet suspended in air.
Jarno chewed me out for wearing my helmet while getting on the plane.
