Or more like the bane of "modern storytelling." I've seen some talented videographers producer well lit, well shot, well told...slow motion, that is as boring as heck because it's all in slow motion. "Let's just shoot all the b-roll in slow motion because it looks cool and the client [who doesn't know any better] loves it." I've heard that said one too many times before. It's a matter of, now that low and mid range productions can afford good looking slow motion, they think they have to use it, so it gets way overused. Same thing with drone shots, shallow depth of field, timelapses, and various other fads that have come and gone over the years. I'm glad to see the timelapse fad (gimmick) fading away over the last year or two, as well as the shallow depth of field fad, and as time goes on the slow motion fad and the drone fad will become less popular as time progresses as well.
Exactly! It is considered as a standard frame rate. When slowed down it's actually a strange beast: you wonder for a minute if it's a slow mo or just a slow action.
Yes. And, if he makes a mistake, he admits to it. Often instantly.
