![]() Even if your camera can capture 240 fps, it may 1.) have a lower resolution, and 2.) have an aesthetic that doesn't work as well as, say, 120 fps does for your project. Each frame rate setting produces its own unique look, from 24 fps to 1000 fps and beyond. Overcranking: When it comes to slow motion, the slower the footage the better, right? Well, not always. ![]() Be aware of flickering: Okay, you've got some lights to properly expose, but.what kinds of lights do you have? Some will appear to "flicker" in playback, a phenomenon known as banding, but there are plenty of flicker-free light sources out there that you can use, or you can calculate your light source's pulse frequency and camera settings to make sure you won't produce that ugly strobe effect.In order to ensure you can get a proper exposure, make sure you provide enough light for your scene. Use enough light: Now that your shutter speed is a lot faster, less light is going to hit your camera sensor.So, if you're shooting at 60 fps, set your shutter speed at 1/120 (or whatever's closest), and if you're shooting at 120 fps, set your shutter speed aaaatttt.1/140 (or whatever's closest). Adjust your shutter speed: Want to avoid weird artifacts and that weird ghosting effect you get when you shoot slow-mo? Then you'll need to make sure your shutter speed is twice the inverse of your frame rate.Here are the tips mentioned in the video: ![]() These issues are both incredibly common and incredibly avoidable if you know a few things about slow motion. So, they go out, set their frame rate to 60 or 120 (or higher), and are surprised when they find lots of issues with their footage, like underexposure and flickering. The first thing new filmmakers learn about slow motion filmmaking usually relates to frame rate: the higher your frame rate, the slower your footage will be.
