Slow Motion Test - Canon Vixia HF S10 / HF S100 / HF S11 - Sony Vegas 9

Click on the responses below to see this clip at full speed, and for other newer and better slow-mo shots.

A test trying to get smooth, good looking slow motion. Shot on HF S100 at 60i, converted to 60p then slowed in vegas using method #2 found at
http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2009/02/09/butter-smooth-slow-motion/
Best results so far.
Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AroBq7sBCiU about half way through to see this clip at normal speed. The slow-mo doesn't look amazing in this clip just by itself, but in comparison to the speed of the origional clip, I think it is actually pretty decent. Idk if it can be improved or not. Maybe...

you should shoot in the next shutter speed above double your frame rate.

like instead of 1/60 for 30p, shoot 1/120.

Your slowmos will look DELICIOUS.

But never go too crazy with your shutterspeed.

Like say you shot 1/1000...it would make your footage really stroby and weird.

Anyways, hope this helped man! DVX's rock!

Good intel. I didn't really have intentions of slowing this down when I shot this clip because I had just got the camera and was just messing around. I do have a strong desire to do some good looking slow-mo now though. I'll definately try to remember that little tidbit.

[JakeBurnsRed]

shoot 60i and turn your shutter speed up.

@JakeBurnsRed

Pretty sure it was in 60i, but I think I had it in an auto mode or P instead of Tv. I can't beleive I didn't think about manual shutter speed control. That was probably most certainly the cause of the ghosting now that I think about it.

@kdavidse will look strobey and weird. Just do some quick shots on different shutter speeds and see which ones come out the best!

i found on my dvx that i can use 1/250 or 1/500 and it still look pretty good....if i remember correctly..i havent been shooting slow mos in a while lol.

Good luck man!

@kdavidse Too high of a shutter speed does look bad. it makes it look choppy.

The faster the shutter speed you set, the more light you will need first and foremost.

i'm not super familiar with your camera, but the best rule of thumb is to shoot double your frame rate.

If you are shooting in 60 frames per second you should use 1/120.. 30 fps would be 1/60

You can bump it up to 1/250 or so if you have a high enough frame rate, but if you go too high, say 1/500 or 1/1000, you're footage

@JakeBurnsRed Hey man I'm using the CANON VIXIA HF S10 what would be the perfect shutter speed for fast movement. Let's say like a break dancer. What would be a good shutter speed? And does a too high shutter speed look bad?

PLEASE GET BACK AT ME SOON, THANKS!

[Asegagi]

[brantPG]
