Charles DeRosa Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 How do cinematographers combine slow motion and regular speed motion in the same frame? I'm going to try and shoot an object which falls to the ground (which I'd like to be in slow motion) while the people in the room move at regular or faster than normal speeds. There's no budget for post effects. Suggestions. Are there other ways to do it then the obvious poor man's approach of telling the actors to move at vastly different speeds? I see it in ads and movies all the time where a crowd of people is buzzing by at high speeds, but the lead is moving at normal speed. thanks, chuck derosa los angeles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted January 14, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted January 14, 2005 Hi, All I can suggest is an in-camera matte, where you'd have to avoid the normal-speed people crossing the area where the high-speed effect is. It'd be a cow to get the exposure exactly even, I'd have thought. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Salzmann Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Sad (or perhaps not) to say it sounds like it would have to be "the poor mans approach". This might give you more interesting results anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
