Shutter speed test on fight footage.

You might have to consider your actual lighting setup.

It might look okay there, but how will it look when you're blasting your actors with fills and such?

Will it have the same staccato impact?

You should do tests with a lighting setup, at least. That's just I.

Good point. I liked the faster shutter speeds, but Kholi's right about lighting.
 
That is good advice. I will take lighting into consideration before I film. Any other ideas?

The 1/250 def. looks more filmic and more action feel to it. The 1/120 looked good as well. I always use high shutter speed with fast chaotic movement. It works better. It looks cooler to the viewer's eyes.
 
I also like the faster speeds . . . er . . . as wel as the slower. (still very undecided) But either way, how do you make that transition to a different speed? wont it be a bit sudden?

I love my phone. Its the smallest SmartPhone, one of the smallest phones available of any type, but it has a good size screen and almost full PDA functionality. And the internet connection is blazing - I can download a 500k image in about 15 seconds. Only drawback is i have to type with the number pad.

You dont, or I don't understand the question. Usually, when high shutter speeds are used for intesity, the only way in or out is to cut out of the scene entirely, and support it with audio to match. Saving Private Ryan, Gladiator, and movies of that nature come to mind.

I should think you will have the entire fight at 120 or 250 and then cut out to a different scene. If you wanna keep on the fighters but go to 48, youd better have a fairly dramatic change of camera angle and cut pacing, in addition to a shift in mood established either through audio or by color.
