A tiny Swiss village has just passed a law that bans people from taking photos. Why? Because they want to save you from the pain of FOMO, or the fear of missing out.

Swiss International Air Lines, the flag carrier airline of Switzerland, just released this 5-minute short film titled "The people behind SWISS." It's a look at the work done by over 100 of the company's 8,000+ employees spread across 30 different divisions, and how their efforts all come together for the service provided to passengers.

The video was created by director Kevin Blanc, the founder of the Zürich-based LAUSCHSICHT. Over 20 hours of footage was captured in 4K with the new $16,000 Canon C300 Mark II camcorder and edited down for the 5-minute final product.

1,250 glass negatives from between 1910 and 1925 were recently found in the archives of the Swiss photo agency Keystone. After some thorough research work, it was concluded that the photos formed an important chapter of Swiss photographic history: they were shot by photographer Jules Decrauzat, widely considered now to be the first sports photographer and first major photojournalist in the history of Switzerland.

Bullet time isn't anything new, but where most of the recent examples show how you can use relatively inexpensive phones or GoPros to create the effect, this BTS video shows how Canon helped put together a crazy bullet time photo shoots that went radically in the other direction.
