I don't think the SR3 has an elctronic shutter, I think I would have to go 35mm for that option. I've been thinking of keeping the ramping to between 12fps-48fps, this way I only have a 1 stop range of over and under exposure. I can do a supervised transfer to HD and correct the exposure before it gets to tape. I really need to test all this but right now I'm most concered with figuring out a way to keep the playback in sync with the camera. I'm going to call some sound guys I know and see what they have to say. Thank you for your comments... has anyone tried synching with AC? I thought a lo-fi way would be to use a dimmer that controls a tape deck and an older AC motor. Anybody think this is even possible? Any and all suggestions are welcome :D Cheers Zak Mulligan If the playback is set for 48fps on set and I remove frames in post (I assume this is what you mean) wouldn't the sync be lost? Wouldn't I have to have the audio ramps established and played back while shooting at maximum frame rate? That seems like it could work.

Hi all! This is my first post here and I'd like to thank you all in advance for the sound advice (pun intended). I'm shooting a music video in a couple of months and have been kicking around an interesting idea for an effect. I'd like to do in camera speed ramps while the artist lip syncs to the song. This could be ramping anywhere from 5fps to 60fps up and down for different parts of the song. In order to do this I need to have a variable speed playback that's synched to the camera for her to lip sync to. So my questions are: 1) Could I do this in a ?low tech? manner using a governor motor or variable AC motor hooked to a dimmer that also controls a tape deck - all plugged into the same AC outlet? If so what equipment might I use? Would I need to use an older camera with an older motor? FYI ? This is a 16mm/S16mm shoot. 2) Or do I have to use an Arri 435? If so how would I sync the audio? To get the sound to ramp (speed up and slow down) what sort of device could be used? I don?t think the budget would allow for a 35mm shoot, but I?m interested in anyway this could be accomplished. THANKS! Zak
