Speed Series 1

The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. With a line-up comprising John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they are commonly regarded as the most influential band of all time. The group were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and popular music's recognition as an art form. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock and roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in innovative ways; the band later explored music styles ranging from ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock. As pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the group revolutionised many aspects of the music industry and were often publicised as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements…

I’m Doug Marks, a Metal Method instructor and producer of the Speed Kills series. Michael and I began working on this program using the working title, “How to play really fast!” It is that, but so much more. For this program we really wanted to reveal Michael’s secrets, to dig deeper for these instructions. For example, one of the most basic shred techniques is sweep arpeggios. You’ve never heard his sweep secrets revealed to this extent before. It’s not just a matter of “rolling” your fretting hand. There are a series of moves happening with both hands.

In the blink of an eye an ear-blistering explosion rips through a quarry. A wooden shed is torn apart as if touched by an invisible force. What happened? The events unfold at such a speed, that we haven’t had time to register the details. But using digital high-speed Weisscams, we can slow down time. Suddenly the powers at work are revealed: a shockwave spreads out from the heart of the explosion like a glass dome, blowing the shed apart like a house of cards. And it’s all invisible to the naked eye. This two-part documentary goes in pursuit of the invisible – a world so alien to us, that at times we find it hard to recognise it as our own. Seeing the world in super-slowmotion allows us to explain mysteries of science and explore super-fast phenomena. It is a cinematic expedition into the incredible world of invisible movement.
