Igus Slider Test

Be sure to read the full review here: http://cinematicdslr.com/2011/08/24/igus-slider

These are the first tests I did with my IGUS Slider.
Canon 60D. Two lenses.

Color Correction: starting to learn how it works in FCPX. Went for warm summer feel in the outdoor shots and vintage (color contrast between shadows & highlights) for indoors.

Then why is your footage so "choppy"? it looks like its down at like 15 fps or something.. are you sure you rendered it correctly? that happend to me once and it kinda looked liked this :)

@MrSchMikaels I just looked back at my output files. I compressed it for H.264 to make for a smaller file size and the H264 version is choppy like the one on youtube, but the full quality prores from final cut looks super smooth. I guess I need to test some settings in compressor to find a good medium between quality and file size...the bitrate was 101 for the prores file and 12 for the h264 lol. but the h264 was also about 1/10th the size.

@MrSchMikaels thanks for noticing btw!!!

@MrSchMikaels Here I re uploaded it, the best way I found to export was straight out of FCPX but choosing H264 instead of current settings. I linked it in the video

@PatHarris6 unless of course I plan on slowing it down further than just conforming in post, then I would jack the shutter speed up higher to capture every detail and let optical flow or timewarp do the rest. this video should have been shot at 1/50th. Maybe 1/60th because some of it was inside.

@MrSchMikaels I always shoot at double my FPS. This is the closest shutter to shooting real film which has a 180 degree shutter. It may look slightly different because its simulated shutter electronically not an actual disc cutting out light. So at 24 FPS. I would shoot at 1/50th or 1/60th (sometimes 60 is good to avoid flickering in some florescent lights depending on where you live) or if Im at 60FPS it would be 1/120th.

[MrSchMikaels]

your shutter is way to high..
