Development: Session 3

Session 3.

This was an easy one – as all we needed was slow-motion sequences (as everything else was done) we had plenty of time to shoot different angles with different decks (I particularly liked the special black deck with inverted colours).

What I got out of this session was that for 60fps shutter speed should be different.

I did not aim to slow down the sequence much below the natural (60fps -> 24fps) which gave less than half the natural speed, so I got away with shooting at 1/100 of a second. (Technically it should be closer to 1/125, but due to light frequency the image was flicking, so most of it was shot at 1/100).

Another piece of equipment I had a chance to test was a macro lens converter.

This is particularly useful on zoom lenses, with the prime lenses I had the possibilities were somehow limited.

It did help though.

Using the lens we could film the detailed sequences as well as close-ups of the items (cards.)

This could be used in the intro sequence without revealing Radek or as some filler footage.

Other than shooting for the slow-motion, I had an idea for releasing a teaser. More about it in the next post.
