What does SLOMO mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
Film or video played back more slowly than its normal speed, so that the action appears drawn out; an informal shortening of slow motion.
Slomo lets viewers see details that pass too quickly to notice at ordinary speed, such as the exact moment a ball leaves a bat or the way water splashes on impact. Sports broadcasters rely on slomo constantly to replay a disputed play or a spectacular moment for viewers and officials alike, often from several camera angles at once. The word began as a casual, spoken shortening of slow motion and has since spread into informal writing, especially online and in casual conversation about film, television and video games. Editing software now makes it simple for anyone to slow down footage into slomo, a capability once limited to professional film cameras and studios.
