Wow, if that's real it's incredibly make the beast with two backsing cool.
Very cool. Notice as the initial lightning blast branches down, and how when onr of the branches finally reach the ground, a larger bolt of lighting comes rushing down the exact same path of that branch. Really cool and awesomely powerful
the path of least resistance... bad ass.
I like all the little spirals and twisties that come before the big strike. Bad ass!!
Thanx ...
How many frames per second is that?

Considering all of that happens in the span of a less than a second, a
lot. As I recall, some of the fastest high-frame-rate cameras can burn through a few thousand frames of film per second.
With how random lightning is, I wonder how much film they wasted until they caught something. Amazing results, in any case.

actually, the larger bolt (the one we usually see as the flash) comes from the GROUND then it rushes up. and if u look closely, u can see it orginates from the ground. it was in my geography class a few years back but nevertheless, very cool

Wow, yeah I hadn't even thought about that.
You have no idea where lightning is going to strike. Even during a lightning storm.
I wonder how long they had to film with that camera until they caught that.
