That looks beautiful even on YouTube. I love stuff like this.

Could it be of some use if I make some exercises doing the entire process in video instead of film to see how it works more or less? Or, does the film shot in 18fps is in some kind different with the video shot at the same speed?

Thanks for the info! We were going crazy trying to figure it out!

Do you know what happens with the original sound of this movie? Is it synchronized?

I'm about to do a project, and I like the "slow" motion in the actions, and I think I would do what you did here. But what happens with the sound?

@pablo1080 Good question, for sync sound it is best to shoot with a crystal-controlled motor at 24 fps and transfer at 24 fps so sound will match picture. Shooting at 18 fps is not controlled and you may actually be shooting somewhere between 17 and 19 fps and the speed won't even be constant. So if you put the footage into an editing program, adjust the speed to normal, and try to line up the sound, you may find that it will drift.

Some creative sound editing and speed manipulation can help

[pro8mm]

best to check every few seconds or so and then make corrections when it appears to start drifting

I have seen several customers of mine doing this. One particular that does wedding video's. At first I though he just did not know about 18 versus 24 then I saw the final project and realized what he was doing.

I could see doing this for a special effect, as in a dream sequence or something, maybe going hand-held to accentuate the blurriness between the frames.
