"RPDM" by Two Bears One Cup

You also left off the smoke machine. I hope you don't think you're shooting a single frame of this film without the smoke machine...
 
We do have intimate love scenes Kholi, just you wait. Actually with that scene I want to experiment more with dispersed smoke just for the haze to give the scene some more depth, and catch the sunlight coming in the window.
 
Thanks Tommy. I'm pretty excited about this one too. Real happy with the script and it looks like things are coming together for the production.
 
I actually spent all weekend working on some slo-mo tests in AE. this is some footage from another film of mine, but it was shot in 60fps, so served well for the test.

I want to have some SUPER slo mo in this, to serve one of the plot points. So been testing. Here's the best one I've gotten so far.

It's just about perfectly smooth to my eye, as about as slow as I want it. But when you get fast movement with her hair, the frame interpolation cannot deal with that well. So I am planning on shooting all of the shots that we slow down this much in a really high shutter, at least 120, to eliminate the motion blur as much as possible and get good, clean frames to play with.

I would like to do one more test with high shutter tomorrow night.

I will try to update the thread with some cast photos and stuff tonight after pool.

Well that is a 1/48th shutter. Timur had shot that for me last summer and we never planned on slowing it down.

That uses AE CS 3 to slow down part way. Then I bring the slowed-down footage into Vegas, and slow it down more. I've experimented a lot and it seems like this two-step process gets the smoothest results. Taking 60FPS to, I dunno what, 200? What does that look like?
 
looks cool!

what's the new footage duration vs. the old?

can't you take (NEW LENGTH ÷ OLD LENGTH) X's 24 to get the approximate new frame rate?
