Hey guys

I was wondering if you could help me achieve this effect... It appears 'slow' howevever remains in time...?

I know that the first step is to record it at double speed ( there was a behind the scenes film where it showed that much) but after that im lost.

from about 3 mins onwartd, the closeups of the singer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyZvUXC6gqo

Cheers guys
 
Looks like regular time to me. Had a tough time and had to turn off the sound to concentrate, but it looked like regular speed . Just a slow part of the song.

Nothing to amazing with that video. Pretty simple edit.
 
Definitely slowed down. You can tell when he does those little jumps up and down.

You need to have your audio played back at a quicker speed then real time and over crank your camera as well. For example, if you wanted half speed playback in sync with the music, you would play the song and get the band to perform at double speed and record them at 48fps. Then in post you would lay down the original sound file and bring the footage in at 50% speed and it would match up( for a 24fps output).
 
Hmm.. I musta missed those parts. I just clicked through to find the closeups.

Okay.... if you guys say so. I watched again. I don't see it.

this is sounding right... Although im a PAL user. So would I play the song at double speed, shoot at 50fps, then play it back at 50% speed on a 25p timeline? Is that correct?

Could you give me a bullet pointed run through, im new :) Would be much appreciated!

@ATL Media Group - what do you mean? you dont see the slowed effect? Its definatley there dude! start at 3 mins and it starts almost straight away

OK, I'll give it a go!

  • Drop your music track into Soundbooth or Audacity
  • Add synchronisation beeps to the start and end of the music
  • Save a copy, this will go on to your Premiere timeline
  • Select the entire track and change the speed to taste, 200% is probably what you're after. Make sure to maintain the pitch so that it doesn't sound like the Chipmunks
  • Save a copy of the fast version of the song and deliver it to the band for them to practice playing along at the faster speed.
  • On the day of the shoot, set your framerate to 50 fps (and likely shutter speed to 1/100) and do your takes with the fast version of the song. If you can't shoot at 50 fps there are methods to deinterlace 50i footage to make 50p footage with a quality hit. I wrote an article about doing it with After Effects a few years ago
  • Make sure when you're shooting that you catch the beeps at either the start or the end of the song in a continuous take
  • In editing, drop your 50p video files into Premiere as well as the original copy of the music with the beeps added
  • Retime all the shots to 50% of their original speed (an option in the right click menu)
  • Line up the synch beeps on the recorded sound track with the beeps on your timeline audio
  • Cut between your takes and you're finished!
Hope that's mildly helpful!
