Mike McLaughlin Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hi everyone, I was on a shoot recently with my bolex R5, and I was shooting a lot of over crank (48 and 64 fps). The shoot was in Germany and the lighting was both tungsten and HMI (I think, it was a massive stage) and now I'm nervous about flicker. Does anyone know if I'm going to have flicker at those frame rates under 50Hz lighting? thanks! - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Millar Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 How did you acheive those frame rates? If it was by selecting them on the R5 then you have nothing to worry about but maybe everything. You ran your camera 'wild' so any flicker will also be wild. Proof will be in the pudding with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Pierre Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Does anyone know if I'm going to have flicker at those frame rates under 50Hz lighting? There can be no flicker with a light source generated by an incandescent filament. There may be a flicker with a light source without inertia (eg fluorescent tubes).

Chris Millar Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Or an HMI which the OP mentions was present ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite true as anybody who has ever shot higher speeds with small fixtures can testify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
