Yeah, my guess is they're playing with the speed constantly to keep things in sync.

  I doubt it. In the article someone else linked they said all the events were pretty tightly coordinated. I don't want to take the time to actually nerd out on the math, but it seems like there'd be one ratio you'd apply to everything. Like if the song's 124bpm at 60fps (2.066..7beats per frame), you'd want to multiple all that by 100 if you're shooting at 6000fps, so like 206.66..7 beats per frame. THen you can run the video back in super slow mo (60 fps again) and get the real 124bpm deal?

    welp I was wrong and I can't edit so.. mea culpa

      You're more right than wrong. While they do change the speed, the changes were pre-planned and weren't adjusted to make up for timing issues (I.e. allowing down or speeding up so the flipbook / lipsync lines up).

  You are correct. From the background notes [1] on the band's page: "It is not all one speed, but each section is at a constant rate, meaning that time does not “ramp” (accelerate or decelerate). We just toggle from one speed to another. When the guitars explode, we are 200x slower than reality (6,000 frames per second), but Tim and Andy’s short bursts of lip sync (Tim twice and Andy once) are only 3x slower than real life (90 frames per second). The watermelons are around 150x, and the spray paint cans are a little over 60x."

    Each section has it's speed, but in each of those section the speed is not manipulated. Like, the explosions at the beginning and water balloon at the end are really synced with the music and not edited to appear in sync.
