Rolling Shutter Frames in SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE

[armadillo]

I just came across this article at a page I sometimes visit. It has an interesting post on the rolling shutter issues in Slumdog Millionaire including some captures of the specific frames where it occurred, if anyone is interested.

Wow, who would have thought.

Keep in mind that the SI2k shoots 24p as 48p, dropping alternate frames, to minimize the effect.

Winning oscar for best cinematography I guess puts the rolling shutter thing to rest

i didn't notice because the structure was so compelling

but if an indie filmmaker is using an hv20 or d90, and there's jello in every other shot, there's a big problem

unless the film is about schizophrenia

That would be an interesting directorial choice!

I heard they custom-cast a special gold oscar statue which was slightly bent and skewed, to pay homage to the CMOS effect.

I imagine they painted the top half a lighter shade of gold as well?

Or, how about a rubber one that is bendable like a Stretch Armstrong toy?

Yes this is clear evidence of Rolling shutter, but can this really be compared to other rolling shutter camera's (e.g. D90)?

We all know that a standard family car and a sports car can both 'accelerate' but does that make them "comparable"*?

Clearly there are big differences in performance between 'rolling shutter' camera's

*except for the fact the family car will take around 10-14 seconds to go from 0-60, compared to high end sports car will take under 4 seconds.

Agreed. The problem is far worse with some rolling shutter cameras than others. But then again, acceleration is a positive for a car. I liken it more to if two cars have a "defect" like the axle breaks if you go fast, but in one car it breaks at 50 mph and in the other car, you have to get up to 100 mph before you run into problems.
