I think we have all seen lots of video footage of helos with varying effects on the rotors but that first one is unlike any others I have seen. Usually the frame rate can make it look like the rotors are turning the wrong way or standing still but moving that slowly?????? Maybe a video guru can confirm or deny.
It's definitely a frame rate issue. Look at the tail rotor blades - they look like they are curved like a banana. That's another tell-tale of a frame rate/shutter speed issue. There are several examples of the same 'phenomenon' in the Helicopters around the World thread.
