: Anyone got any slow-motion tips?
: I know you must keep the camera still, but anything else, like Frames Per Second or anything? Thanks.
You don't have to keep the camera still when shooting slow-mo shots, but I wouldn't necessarily shoot it hand held. You can pan, tilt, dolly etc. However, slo-mo will help to smooth out shaky camera shots.
If you're shooting true slow motion, (as opposed to simply slowing the playback speed during editing) you simply shoot at a faster fps rate and play the film back at normal speed. (24 fps). So if you shoot at 48fps, you slow the speed by half. If you shoot at 1,000,000,000 fps you can watch a bullet in flight. I use to shoot skiers at 60fps and acheived some beautiful results. One rule of thumb is if you want the action to look smooth....don't shoot at a fast shutter speed. However if you want to study the bullet in flight, use a fast shutter speed.
