guys this is how to slow down clips without warping: film at 60fps with a high stutter speed, and the important thing is to film it with a contrasting background. pennyshills vid has a bright background, but the guy is silouhetted in black. then use twixtor, shake, or use an optical flow function to slow it down. BAM.
@mackhm Thanks mate. the text is added using basic motion tracking software. what editing software are you using? i use motion for my stuff. adobe after effects does the same thing. simply look up a tutortial on basic motion tracking with text. it takes about 2 minutes when you know how to do it. cheers
@pennyshill thanks a bunch, I've really looked everywhere and never found out what the technique was called. I'm using final cut studio, but never really considered using motion for anyhthing until now :)
@pennyshill OR, if you have Apple Motion it's a bit more "user friendly." I think mainly because it uses more visual ques to show you how to make a motion tracking sequence. Can't tell if one is more accurate than the other. Any thoughts about that Pennyshill?
@kuryakyn1 Yeh i totally agree. Motion is more fun being an apple product :) they are both accurate enough to do basic work. After Effects can ultimately do more things but its harder to learn. I do use both pieces of software though. I also use matchmover 2011 to do advanced motion tracking but thats a whole other story :) good luck. any more questions please ask me. cheers
@pennyshill Nice! Haven't tried my hand at MatchMover but I'd sure like to try some tests. Great video man! Thank you for the added motion track info too :) Later!
@kuryakyn1 Matchmover is for 3D tracking. used with Maya and Autodesk. its incredibly powerful but a handfull to learn. im still trying to figure it out :)
i know. i know. the song WAS bjork - hyper Ballad... the problem is i edited the bloody video to the music so now nothing matches my edit. not happy considering the free exposure i'm giving her music. and its not like she's a struggling artist desperate for money..... there is a version on vimeo with the music if your keen to check it. peace
hey yeh i shot those in smooth slow record 3 second option. make sure your shutter speed is really high so there's almost no motion blur. the shot is then imported & blurred slightly to remove any artifacts ( there are heaps when using smooth slow) then i use a re-sharpen mask tool. i then use optical flow slow motion in motion 3. slow it right down with a ramp effect. i then blow up the shot. apply a sharpen filter to get it back to 720p kinda quality. + B&W filters too. hope this helps :)
also the shot design helps. because there is a very clear cut sillouette in the shot it help the optical flow work much better. also easier to get it sharper etc. don't worry too much it took me maybe 25 - 30 goes before i had some decent stuff to play with. things like manual focus helps to keep it sharp. tripod etc. high shutter. i wish it was full HD slow mo. would make things easier lol.
you guys should see what you can do with this when shooting with a RED One at 120 fps (slow enough, right?) and then slowing it down even more w/ Optical Flow. It's awesome!
man i dream of owning a red cam. My camera records at 240 frames/ sec ( i think anyway i cant confirm this ) but it is very pixelated in that mode. its ok for youtube as you can see above but on a HD tv it all falls apart. Red records at 4k doesn't it? something crazy like that. Thanks for your input BTW
Hey man I'm right there with you about the camera. You have heard about the whole RED Scarlet thing about to come out, have you not? Because that's what I'm gonna get this fall, and it will be AWESOME!!!!
Ha ha quite the opposite, actually. But I'm gonna go ahead and pm you about this thing tomorrow (can't stand the character limit). I think you could benefit from some information about the best thing that's ever happened to the world of cinematography ;D
hey pH hows tings man, getting my camera in like 3 weeks, hanging for it, oi can you get fish eye lense for it or do you just use your edit software ?all this shit is new to me, take it easy
Great! thanks much!

It looks like WMG is preventing me from hearing another quality tune I would have probably purchased through your free promotion.
Cool visuals though

how did you do those extreme slow mo bits in black and white? Did you use smooth slow record to film it. then slow it down more in post?
I've used the smooth slow rec function but found it really destroys the quality.
