I’m a music artist, and I just bought my first setup (canon sl3 *shoots in 4k*, sigma art 18-35mm, and canon 50mm) and I’m going to start filming and editing all of my own music videos to show artists how possible it is to do all of this with no budget. You’re helping me so much. Sub n liked.

[@CustomMadeEntertainment]

The shutter speed is responsible for motion blur, the higher the shutter speed the less motion blur you'll will get, reason for the 1/48 shutter at 24fps will give the audience the closest shot to what we see with our eyes, so by cranking it up all your doing is creating less motion blur in that shot. you can test it. take a shot of water running at 1/48 then another at 1/1200 and you'll see the motion blur in the shot at 24 and no motion blur at 1200. pull still shots from the footage to see it better.

[@CrackaLackTV]

True. I Highly recommend variable nd filters now.
