Welp, just figured this one out. If you click on the little triangle in the lower right hand corner, you can
watch youtube embedded clips in high quality… so you can check that out on the post below.
So Rob is out of town this week (more so than usual) so Lumer and I conducted a couple video tests in preparation for our music video. I wanted to see how drumming would look at 24 frames / sec in a couple of different ways.
The first test, we sped up the music to 125% of its original speed and had Lumer play drums to it. My camera films at 30 frames per second. So in the computer, I loaded it in telling the computer to think it was 24 frames per second, and then it played back at the correct speed. You’ll see the differences in the video. I’m frankly amazed that it doesn’t look like he’s going in slow motion at all… if anything, the end of the video looks sped up. It gives a nice fluid motion I guess.
The second test was all shot using the motion strobe technique, but this time with better lighting. I think it looks pretty cool, but the picture quality is noticeably worse. Maybe not on this site with the low-quality youtube embed, but definitely in the HD view if you click through to the youtube page…
So, the question is, which to do for our video… which will look best in the long run. I also learned that I need a lot of work in framing shots. Blarg.

Ingenious ad. Love it.
Well… hopefully I don’t have any readers that are children… and if I do… see all the cute blow up animals being friends? See?

Just like the link I posted below that lets you see how different focal lengths affect your picture, the same site has a depth of field comparison so you can see how the different aperture sizes affect the depth of field of your photo. Pretty useful for us photography n00bs.

Ever wonder what the difference between a 50mm, 20mm, and 300mm lens was? Or at least how it would look when shooting? This is a great way to play around with the different lengths to see how it will affect your shot. Just move the little blue arrow around:
So this is a little belated, but I was clearing off my portable hard disk and it had all these pictures adn videos from St. Maarten, so I uploaded this little clip to YouTube. Man, it’s hard to aim at what you want to shoot w/ an underwater camera… luckily you can see that blue fish I was going after!
