Brigham Young University Gymnastics and Eye-Fi

I stumbled upon this link at BYU:

The concept was simple; shoot the members of BYU Gymnastics Team in front of a black background with rim lighting. The kicker is that the DP used water to accent the scene.

The Eye-Fi cards allowed the iPads, used for image review, to remain safely out of harm's way.

Rather than describe any more of the scene, it's easier to show the results:

... and their pullback of the setup:

Amazing work. I love the last shot. I'm assuming it was a stacked image?

Great shots, I love the hair whip on the first one the best.

I believe that the separate images were both composited and Photoshop-ed, meaning that additional digital "blending" was done to make the individual image transitions appear contiguous.

Very creative.

This is amazing. It's worth watching the video on the BYU site (linked in the first post).
