Wow thats crazy I love knowledge lol

[nina82]

is it possible to take slow motion video with Canon 7D?

or for example, i wanna make a video, like a long line of cars lights moving at night.. how can i set up my camera to do sucha thing.

[bigjon6565]

@nina82 I assume you had this answered as it was 11 months ago and that you have discovered the ability to do timelapse on your 7D?

[RoyalPCmods]

thats awesome i got a video camera that does 60i fps im gonna film my cat do tricks and stretch the frames and see what it looks like in slow motion.

@MOXWELLDIAMOND Thanks!

[canunotg]

I just bought the Canon 550D.... Can I mess around with the fps on that? To 'compress' and 'stretch' clips?

[buzzterbrown]

Muybridge's work is on display right now in DC at the Corcoran Gallery!

[LifesDamand]

yo U explain that so well man . thanks

[Twinman2]

Michael would better realise sooner than later that such tutorials defeat their purpose. I can't understand what he's talking about when he is dressed in shorts, and flexes his biceps while explaining how a horse runs... Mmhhh.

[ssherron1]

Great explanation. 5 stars.

[LeoBabe22]

Thank you Michael. You re such a great teacher. You really have a natural knack for explaining things :) I regret that I've missed out on your seminars this summer. Thank you so much for invite.

[djddamn]

thanks bro !!

After watching this video there is no need to query for FPS info,Because its an ultimate information for the FPS, Great job.

a really good video, great background

can you explain WHY movies are typically 24fps?

i started filming and everybody wants 24fps and nobody can really explain why, they all just say it has the "film" look, I'd really love to know how that comes

[johnnyonline]

pretty early on in the motion picture business, it was decided that to cut production costs they would use the least number of frames of film per second possible, while still maintaining fluid (enough) movement. turns out this is 24fps. over decades and decades of cinematic history, our eyes and minds have come to associate this look with high quality cinema. anything higher looks too smooth, like some video, and any lower just looks jerky.

[johnnyonline]

Another major contributing factor to obtaining the film look is shutter speed. because of the rotary shutter mechanism in a motion picture film camera, the shutter speed can't be any longer than half the frame rate. so at 24fps, the longest exposure possible on film is 1/48. This is referred to as a180 degree shutter angle. this is why you always see film crews with so much lighting gear as simply using faster film would look very grainy by the time you enlarge it to the size of a cinema screen

[johnnyonline]

video cameras don't have this shutter limitation and can therefore shoot at a shutter speed the full duration of the frame rate. ie, 30fps and 1/30 shutter speed or 24fps and 1/24 shutter speed. this is called a 360 degree shutter and is something to avoid when ever attempting to create the "film look", which as it turns out is really just recreating the old limitations of shutter speed, frame rates and a shallow depth of field. I won't rant about shallow DOF but you should totally google it.

[Frace91]

thank you very much :)

[Benjamin5050]

I think it was to do with capturing the fastest frame rate while keeping grain quality and lighting levels. If you read Johnnyonline below you will kinda see why.. Less than 24 would look to animated (typical flash or animation is 12fps) gives it a jerky look.. so to get realistic animation while maintaining exposure speeds for film 24 was about right.. now days we can shoot crazy fps and broadcast it as well.,

cool

[ceenuff]

great info....
