What way can making videos require physics? Or any ideas in talking about an experiment that requires physics?

We need to find something that is done or deals with physics and explain it. I need ideas, and I love making videos so I wonder if maybe video making deals with physics. Any ideas?
Doesn’t have to deal with video making, just ideas.

You can video some dynamical process like gyroscopic motion of a spinning bicycle wheel suspended on a rope or the parabolic trajectory of a ball. Use the video to quantify it’s motion with frame grabbing software and show it obeys classical mechanics.

    Well, sure, you could do a project about the light entering the camera lens, how it bends, refracts, etc.
