Still, there are some challenges to consider before\u00a0starting your next slow motion project.<\/h2>\n<p>For the longest time, independent filmmakers have been frustrated by the fact that they weren\u2019t able to capture high quality slow motion video. Up until recent years, your options were mostly limited to shooting at<strong> 720\/60p with a highly compressed codec<\/strong> (such was the case with the <a title=\"Canon 5D Mark II Wikipedia\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Canon_EOS_5D_Mark_II\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">5D Mark II<\/a>), unless you were willing to shell out a lot more money to buy or rent a higher end cinema camera.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, camera manufacturers started to recognize the fact that their customers were demanding higher frame rates (for slow motion usage), and we are finally starting to see a critical mass of cameras offering that ability. The <a title=\"GH4 Wikipedia\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Panasonic_Lumix_DMC-GH4\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">GH4<\/a> can shoot at up to 96fps (as mentioned above), the <a title=\"Canon C100 Mark II B&amp;H Product Page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1086125-REG\/canon_eos_c100_cinema_eos.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Canon C100 Mark II<\/a> does full 1080\/60p (although they\u2019re a bit late to the game), and the camera that many of us have right in our pockets<strong> &#8211; the iPhone 6 &#8211; can shoot at up to 240fps<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-48095 size-full\" title=\"Slow Motion Camera\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Phantom.jpg\" alt=\"Slow Motion Camera\" width=\"490\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Phantom.jpg 490w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Phantom.jpg?resize=300,190 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Phantom.jpg?resize=277,175 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Phantom.jpg?resize=359,227 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Phantom.jpg?resize=150,95 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Image from <a title=\"Vision Research Home\" href=\"http:\/\/www.visionresearch.com\/Products\/High-Speed-Cameras\/Phantom-Flex\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Vision Research<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For the most part, this is great news &#8211; the more tools that we have access to as filmmakers, the better. That said, the fact that many of us have been deprived of high frame rates for so long is starting to create an overuse of slow motion content, much like we saw with the <strong>overdone shallow depth of field<\/strong> that was occurring when the<strong> 5D MK II<\/strong> first came out.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of slow motion tips and tricks out there &#8211; for instance, <a title=\"Shutterstock Slow Motion Tips\" href=\"http:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/blog\/2013\/07\/slooooow-down-tips-for-filming-slow-motion-videos\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">this<\/a> great article from <a title=\"Shutterstock Home\" href=\"http:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Shutterstock<\/a> and <a title=\"Gizmodo Slow Motion Tips\" href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/5164508\/tips-for-shooting-the-best-slow-motion-video\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">this<\/a> in-depth collection of insight from <a title=\"Gizmodo home\" href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Gizmodo<\/a>. The following video from <a title=\"The Slanted Lens Home Page\" href=\"http:\/\/theslantedlens.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">The Slanted Lens <\/a>is very informative, too.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UNGaKZcKv7M?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s go over\u00a0<strong>five\u00a0things that you should consider before you choose to shoot slow motion<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1-you-need-more-light\">1.\u00a0You Need More Light<\/h3>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t shot slow motion before, you probably aren\u2019t anticipating just how much light you need in order to get a decent exposure on your image. Shooting overcranked means that not only does your frame rate increase, but your shutter speed does too.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming you are following the 180 degree shutter rule, <strong>if you\u2019re shooting at 96fps, your shutter needs to be at around 1\/200th of a second,<\/strong> which will drop your exposure significantly. This isn\u2019t such a big deal if you\u2019re shooting outside in the middle of the day, but if you\u2019re planning on shooting an interior or a night exterior &#8211; you\u2019re going to need a lot of light, and you need to know how to use it.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-its-easy-to-overdo-it\">2.\u00a0It&#8217;s Easy to Overdo It<\/h3>\n<p>One of the easiest ways to annoy your audience is to overdo slow motion. Often footage\u00a0looks\u00a0great in slow motion, but that doesn&#8217;t\u00a0mean everything needs to be shot that way. If you\u2019re not careful, you can fall into a pretty bad trap. Like most stylistic choices,\u00a0<strong>less is more when it comes to overcranking<\/strong>, so use it sparingly if you want to be tasteful.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-it-might-not-be-right-for-your-project\">3.\u00a0It Might Not Be Right for Your Project<\/h3>\n<p>Many shooters go a little bit crazy when they buy their first camera that has the ability to <strong>overcrank<\/strong>, and not only do they overuse the effect (as described\u00a0above),<strong> but they use it on projects that don\u2019t call for it.<\/strong> While there may not be any hard and fast rules on this, for the most part slow motion works really well in music videos, some commercials, and\u00a0in small doses\u00a0in narrative films.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, many filmmakers end up using a ton of slow motion in documentary projects or narrative films, in situations where it really isn\u2019t needed. Obviously,\u00a0there&#8217;s a time and a place for <strong>slow motion in a doc or fictional film<\/strong>, but more often than not, it just isn\u2019t the right choice. In other words, don\u2019t use it just because you can&#8230;\u00a0<strong>use it if it&#8217;s the right storytelling\u00a0device\u00a0for your project.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4-the-image-quality-will-be-diminished\">4.\u00a0The Image Quality Will Be Diminished<\/h3>\n<p>No matter what format you\u2019re shooting on, you are likely going to <strong>diminish the quality of your image significantly by shooting slow motion<\/strong>. The reason behind this is simple math. Typically, cameras have a set data rate that they record to per second, and when you increase the amount of frames per second, you are spreading that data very thin by stretching it over many more frames.<\/p>\n<p>Even on the<a title=\"RED DRAGON Product Page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.red.com\/products\/epic-dragon\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><strong> RED DRAGON<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(which of course shoots RAW), in order to capture certain frame rates, the minimum compression ratio required is increased significantly. This doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t capture a beautiful slow motion image, but it does mean that you need to be especially careful about how you capture your image so you retain the highest IQ possible.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"5-storage-requirements-can-go-through-the-roof\">5.\u00a0Storage Requirements Can Go Through the Roof<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-51150 size-full\" title=\"Storage Devices\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Storage-Devices.jpg\" alt=\"Storage Devices\" width=\"1000\" height=\"430\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Image from <a title=\"Shutterstock Home\" href=\"http:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Shutterstock<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This will vary from camera to camera, but generally <strong>higher frame rates require far more data\/storage than standard frame rates<\/strong>. Certain lower-end cameras are able to keep the data rates about the same even when shooting overcranked (but then the issue of the IQ getting diminished comes into play), but most cinema cameras chew through cards like crazy when shooting at high frame rates.<\/p>\n<p>I recently shot a short film on the <a title=\"RED EPIC PRODUCT PAGE\" href=\"http:\/\/www.red.com\/products\/epic\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><strong>RED EPIC<\/strong><\/a>, which had a lot of very slow motion shots (about 120fps on average), and I had to be very careful about how much I was shooting, <strong>as the cards got eaten up very quickly.<\/strong> This is really important to consider if you haven\u2019t shot slow motion before.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for more slow motion advice, try these links:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"The Basics of Shooting Slow Motion Video\" href=\"http:\/\/theslantedlens.com\/2015\/basics-of-shooting-slow-motion-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">The Basics of Shooting Slow Motion Video<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; The Slanted Lens<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Intro to Slow Motion, Red\" href=\"http:\/\/www.red.com\/learn\/red-101\/slow-motion-video\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Intro to Slow Motion Video<\/a> &#8211;\u00a0Red Digital Cinema Camera Company<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"The Beauty of Slow Motion, PremiumBeat\" href=\"http:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/the-beauty-of-slow-motion\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">The Beauty of Slow Motion<\/a> &#8211; PremiumBeat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Have any tips for shooting slow motion footage?<\/strong>\u00a0We&#8217;d love to hear them in the comments below.
