hmc4me Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Hi I am going to shoot a scene in slow motion soon and wanted to know what anyone thinks is the best FPS to do this at. It's going to be in a music video if that helps. Should I do this in the camera or just shoot at 24fps and do the slow mo in post? thanks Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted November 3, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted November 3, 2004 Hi, No, you shoud definitely not do it in post - the results are much less enticing. Slow motion in camera can be gorgeous; slow motion done in post looks cheap. How slow? Well, your hand might be forced in that the talent can probably only sing up to twice normal speed, depending on what the track's like, but it's really an artistic decision. Tests!

dangertree Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I'd also shoot a test to see how the registration is at higher speeds. My K3 works great at 24fps, but gets unusable at over 30fps. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
René Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I was wondering wether the k-3 compensates exposure for speedchanges, or will my footage fade to darker when I turn up the speeddial while filming? Thanks, René. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, René. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, like most motion picture cameras you have to compensate. It's on your lightmeter if it has fps. Otherwise, I think it's a 180deg shutter. Compensate acoordingly.

Premium Member Wendell_Greene Posted November 4, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted November 4, 2004 Try filming your slow motion sequences at 48 fps, which is the highest frame rate possible on the K-3. And unless your using a modified K-3 with crystal sync, the issue of your artist trying to lip sync to the track, either regular or double speed, is moot.

No artist will sing in it. It's just going to be a story set to the song. If that makes much sense. Thanks Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
