Basics of Shooting Slow Motion Video

[@mafiajimmy]

You're destroying all those cameras and I would be so happy if I had one of them.

[@TheSlantedLens]

+westsenkovec All the cameras were already broken. When you've been doing this as long as I have, you end up wearing out a lot of equipment.

[@bloggingtoday]

+The Slanted Lens that 50 mm looked new!! Cool show tho!!

[@mafiajimmy]

The Slanted Lens I understand that part, but something that is financially not worth fixing for you would be perfect for somebody who can't afford that gear but maybe could afford to get it fixed.

[@GunnerGomez]

Hey man what is the name of the feature? where the trigger records back when the camera is always running? been trying to find a name for it but I can't

[@NickFoxer]

@2:38, is there a reason why the pie visual for the 90° mode ISN'T 90 degrees??

[@Venom3210]

The final shooting with balloon is the best.

[@TheJordanWS]

Finally! This is what I've been looking for :)

[@TheSlantedLens]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching.

[@TheJeanna92]

Yall smashing the lenses i been saving months for 🥲

[@TheSlantedLens]

The things we smash are not working, they are unrepairable items from a camera repair shop.

[@joyogude]

Brilliant explanation - thank you! Only thing though is I'd say that I couldn't see an obvious jump in frames when I simply slowed down a video I shot in 24fps in FCP by 50%. It simply looked like a very good slow motion video. However I'm gonna start shooting more in 60fps or more - perhaps I'll notice an obvious difference in detail then. Thanks for this.

[@TheDct88]

when you showed the pie charts the one on the right was supposed to show 90 degrees but the chart showed 45

[@TheSlantedLens]

TheDct88 You caught the Easter Egg! Good eye.

[@vanessamarcano22]

So, according to the diagram at 2:40, the higher the frame rate the shorter the shutter angle? How can we stablish a shutter angle equivalency of a tipical "normal" motion blur in 24fps if we film (or record) at 100fps, for example?.

[@santoshkumarvijayan]

Really nice and informative video,Thanks , I would appreciate if you could put some light on the audio affects if it has to be exposed while shooting in slow motion, for example while shooting a wedding in a church ?

[@TheSlantedLens]

Hi santoshkumar vijayan , sorry but I am not sure what you are asking.

[@DivaCam]

Thanks for the video! I would have enjoyed seeing the comparison with the Sony Alpha and the 5D Mark III though.

[@ZweimalFernweh]

Thanks for the great and very helpful video. There is just one thing that is still not clear to me. I hope I got it right and my question is not just stupid - I am still a rookie. 😊 We do travel vlogs and usually shot all our footage at 60fps (because of many fast-moving objects or us being on a motor bike/train etc.). In post, we edit and export using 60fps as well to not “waste” the frames/information we have (hope that interpretation is correct). However, this makes it almost impossible to use any slow-motion effects. Therefore, we are now thinking about reducing the fps of our timeline to 30 (and also exporting at 30fps) while still shooting all our footage at 60fps (as while shooting we do not know yet for which parts of the footage we later in post want to use slow motion effects switching fps while filming is not really practical to us). However, as far as I understand, this would mean that for all the footage we do not use slow motion effect for, we would “waste” the frames/information we have when exporting the 60fps footage in 30fps (hope that interpretation is correct)?! Would that go along with any loss in video quality? Or would there even be more disadvantages in regard of video quality or “feel” when watching (e.g. choopy or blurred) when doing so. Thanks a lot in advance. 😊

[@TheSlantedLens]

The video quality won't be lost but it might look a little jarring. 24fps is the standard for a film look. Most TV is at 30fps.

[@ZweimalFernweh]

The Slanted Lens Thanks. At least the video quality won't be worse. We'll try it for the next video and will see how it'll go.

[@jalexanderevans]

I need to shoot at 240fps for a 1 second action to be dragged out to 10 seconds. I'm shooting under a street lamp and want to avoid flicker. Is there anyway to do this? Are there any lights I could use that wouldn't flicker at 240fps?

[@muhammadsaddam6131]

Just change the frequency PAL or NTSC Or read this article urbanvideo.ca/avoid-video-flicker

[@PYROWORKSTV]

Ough, that pain seeing the broken cams :(

[@jsgallery194]

thats right!!! why dont they give me those cam instead of breaking it... and in return ill give them something else to break😀

[@xiaonan83838929]

what kind of light you need to shoot slow motion in order to avoid blinking.

[@TheSlantedLens]

+Zoroi Media Lars and I addressed this in today's Q&A on Trends. Check it out! Thanks for watching. kzbin.info/www/bejne/enjUhqF_j56CkMU

[@98Castaway]

I love your videos

[@azizali1810]

Since the shutter speed should be twice the number of the frame-rate (assuming 60fps) in order to achieve a slow motion effect post-production. Is it okay to go from twice the number of frame-rate to beyond (Say 1/2000 shutter speed for a 60fps)? or does it have to be closest to twice the amount?

[@mab.t7022]

The shutter speed at twice the frame rate, is it a limitation of this camera ? Otherwise I fail to get your math around it.

[@Jasongreen357]

Shouldn't we put our shutter at double the frame rate of the output video. I know this is impossible at 1000fps, But when shooting at 60fps a shutter of 1/60 is possible and gives a nice motion blur closer to the 1/50 which would be double the output of 25fps.

[@NaRKLUTZ]

Yay more videos!!

[@joellahey2221]

Tried to do the additional Tweet entry in the giveaway, but there is no "open" on my twitter feed as detailed in your instructions though I'm not a twitter guy by any means so maybe I missed it.

[@wassupyo4775]

What kind of lights should I use?

[@TheSlantedLens]

You are going to need a lot of light, like the Aputure 300d 2

[@recipiend5711]

You can use optical flow

[@kennynvake4hve584]

I would love to have had that canon 50mm lens, and that rebel

[@TheSlantedLens]

try to find a used one!

[@amitamola2014]

I felt so bad when they broke that 50mm prime lens... just like that. And I wish to have one!

[@sjs2657g]

Can't find the giveaway on their website.

[@TheSlantedLens]

sjs theslantedlens.com/giveaway/

[@Topic_____542]

When I first saw this I felt irritated you were breaking the cameras, then you said all of them were already broken and your also doing free giveaways, so I felt better lol

[@TheSlantedLens]

Thanks for watching!

[@Abogabir_Photography]

Hey so I just went to your website but I couldn't see the link for the giveaway ...

[@TheSlantedLens]

***** theslantedlens.com/giveaway/

[@dominikdrozdik6441]

how to name a programme with slow motion please ? :/

[@karath8093]

why didnt you include the iphone 6 plus frame rate at a compact 240 fps

[@TheSlantedLens]

That phone wasn't out yet when we made this video. Thanks for watching!

[@salmontes]

That 50mm... Why. Great video,thanks.

[@UncleArber]

Who drew the graphic for the 90° shutter, because someone sure as heck doesn't know what 90° looks like!

[@TheSlantedLens]

Jason Arber Wanted to see if people were paying attention. Call it an Easter Egg!

[@UncleArber]

:D

[@infokus6824]

Next time give me the camera and break something useless

[@TheSlantedLens]

Infokus The cameras were already broken long before the sledgehammer hit them.

[@indianapkins2]

@ 2:40...the 90 degrees graph shows 45 degrees...bruh

[@TheSlantedLens]

hey thanks christian! we all make mistakes. thanks for pointing that out. sorry :/

[@Sameir8055]

Oh my god... you are breaking my heart..!!

[@Furiousbuddha]

wtf you are disrespectful to destroying cameras !

[@kaptainkendrick4052]

Why u smash camera? Lol

[@Hozanaa]

You guys really didn't had to smash cameras to explain this video. You guys should respect your instruments. Could had splashed water instead

[@Lhopsecker]

You should probably have the giveaway up before you direct people to it...

[@dan0acuesta733]

i yelled "holy" in the library when i saw the first lens get destroyed

[@TheSlantedLens]

😂

[@BestVideosTech]

The Slanted Lens Can i Contact You!!

[@TheSlantedLens]

Email me at [e-mail]

[@orsoncart9441]

Very odd that the film maker made had to destroy things to demonstrate slow motion!

[@TheSlantedLens]

They were all worthless broken cameras from a repair place.

[@SILVARF2]

So you do a giveaway for US residents only?? Seriously??

[@cri24x36]

90 degrees is not a quarter of a circle ?!?!?!?!?!

[@jonathanmendoza7589]

it acctualy is

[@cri24x36]

Jonathan Mendoza yeah i know, but look at 2:41, look at the illustration on the video, (just saying)

[@gothfennec]

dang this comment section is saltier then mcdonalds french fries mixed with logan paul fans

[@Samtagri]

Why are you smashing and destroying cameras? Somehow every show is trying to be cool by smashing things and doing shenanigans. Why is the mental level of the world dropping to a Bevis and Butthead level? Sigh...

[@jayclark2585]

i agree, of all things to destroy why cameras?

[@1adam]

Samtagri all old or faulty

[@Samtagri]

This is just brain dead top gear style cheep thrills. Appeals only to hooligans and morons. Please be more sophisticated than this.

[@TheSlantedLens]

***** Exactly right. When you are in the business as long as I have been, you end up with a pile of broken cameras and lenses. Why not use them one more time before throwing away?

[@DaveKrunal]

The Slanted Lens Cool and very informative. But, still I won't break the faulty ones ;-) Would love to collect instead.

[@normanb7969]

a bit speedy

[@craigluchin8439]

I'm glad they didn't smash a Nikon, that would have been photographic sacrilegious. But still, why smash even such good technology?

[@TheSlantedLens]

Craig Luchin All of those cameras and lenses were broken long before we arrived on set that day. They had just been sitting in a box in the garage, so I wanted to put them to good use one more time.

[@DerZaubererFN]

Useless, who owns those cameras?

[@Floating_Thoughts]

Nooooo don't break that cameraaas!!! (with slowmo voice)

[@idyadigital379]

At least respect ur profession and the things what makes ur bread & butter

Great Video. Look forward for more Videos. Would be awesome if you could have a look at my Video. Thanks

[@iguy6104]

OOh Shit.. You should have given the cameas & stuffs to me or any other poor people who doesnt have the money to buy them... Only who doesnt have DSLR's & stuffs Knows the pain off doing this Like me...You really broke my heart.

[@TheSlantedLens]

+sharath iGuy We only used broken cameras and lenses for smashing. All of those cameras and lenses were well used (and loved) in their time but when the shutter breaks or the point-and-shoot gets dropped too many times, you just have to move on.

[@nawazoTV]

what did those poor cameras do to deserve this treatment?

[@TheSlantedLens]

They were bad. Very, very bad.

[@AmieB2005]

NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo!

[@MLeoM]

Too much money? huh?!

[@maxxsmaxx1901]

Please don't show camera wrecking as we all treat our cameras with great care . What you are showing is depressing .

hey chase, thanks for checking out our video. what part wasn't worth watching? just curious so we can improve our videos and make them better.
