question. higher frame rates that 60 fps?

I read somewhere people have been able to configure the camera to shoot higher frame rates than 60 if so is there thread about this or how is this possible?
 
I haven't found any way to get anything higher/faster. But even if you could, there's no built-in recording format or broadcast standard that would support it.

If it can happen, the Hydra will find it, but I don't think they designed it to go faster than 60.
 
There are cameras that can do that, but they're special-purpose cams. No VariCam or HVX or any other cam like that can do it. Look into something by PhotoSonics or the Phantom.

(or you could try to find an old B&H Filmo "hi-speed" version; it was made to go 128fps)...
 
I have a question about this stuff... If the camera generates the video in 1080p60, then why can't we record that? And yeah, I know, there's no standard for that, but that's besides the point. The only reason I ever use 720p60 is to play it back at 30, and have smooth slow mo. So why can't I do that with 1080? For that matter, why can't we have variable frame rates with 1080?

Also, when I first read about the "PN" modes, the explanation was as follows: Previously, with DVCPROHD tape, 720 HAD to be recorded in 60p, so pulldown was needed to record in 30p or 24p. But with the P2 recording system, recording does not have to conform to any one frame rate, so recording straight to 720 24p or 30p is possible.

Okay... so why isn't there a 1080 24pn?
 
if you just need super slow motion try after effects 7's time remapping feature. If you turn pixel interpolation on it will create unique frames and not just frame blend. This is similar to a Twixtor type effect. If you can slow it down from 60 to 24 then doubling the length will only be creating one in between for each frame so you will most likely get great results.
 
Maybe, but not as great as actually having more frames.

I'm looking to do something along the lines of that... I know I couldn't POSSIBLY go that slow, they used a super hi-speed film camera. I'm just saying I want it to be as SLOW as possible.

So where's this "pixel interpolation" switch? I've always used time remapping, some times with frame blending, but I've never heard of that.

While we're all here, check this out. this is just one of the coolest things I've ever seen, from the same video.

Well, you didn't say what your budget was, and you said you NEEDED 120fps, so I gave you another option. Sorry, won't happen again.
 
lol im just saying i dont have that kind of money. but im shooting stuff and was seeing if there were any options.
 
if you dont have that money then you don't NEED 120fps you WANT 120fps. If you NEEDED 120fps you would have made your producer budget for it. If you have no budget then you have no NEED to deliver footage you have a contract to do so, you only WANT to.

Here, follow this tutorial from Andrew Kramer at Videocopilot.net on 300 style speed ramping. It covers time remapping and pixel interpolation. And go look at Twixtor (google it).

Those are your only options.

Unless you want to rent a high speed film camera and pay for telecine film transfers. There are no inexpensive alternatives for what you want because the only people who need them have the budget to afford them.
 
i got a budget of around 100,000 were just seeing what we can do for models and explosion.
 
so yes i NEED they because they are vital to make them look real or larger in scale so yes I NEED.
 
The Filmo 70 is an old WWII 16mm movie camera, most any 16mm combat footage from that era was probably shot on Filmos, they were standard issue for the Army.

Most any Filmo 70 can go to 64fps, but there was a special version that went to 128fps. May have just been the particular electric motor, or there may have actually been something different about the camera too, I don't recall. I've got a Filmo 70 kit that's been converted to Super16 and it has the regular electric motor, but I've never gotten my hands on the high-speed 128fps version.
