The use of digital film has removed much of the element of chance from slow motion photography, and saved a great deal of waste. Using film meant pressing a button and hoping and the sheer number of frames used meant the film would only last a couple of minutes before running out. At normal speed, the film would last nine minutes, but when Flay shot in his slow motion camera he’d use 30 seconds of film. If nothing happened in that 30 seconds then the film was destined for the bin. The level of lighting required also made shoots incredibly hot and uncomfortable – Flay recalls having to wear welding goggles to shoot fleas jumping.
数字影像的使用大大减少了慢镜头摄影所需的元素，大量减少了浪费。使用胶片的话，按下拍摄键后只能祈祷成功，而且因为每秒帧数很多，所以一卷胶片几分钟就会用完。正常速度下胶片能拍摄9分钟，但弗莱拍慢镜头时一卷胶片只能用30秒。如果30秒内什么都没发生，那胶片就废了。拍摄所需的灯光照明也让人极为闷热不适——弗莱回忆起他以前拍摄跳蚤跳跃时必须戴上焊接专用的护目镜。
