Re: The "Saving Private Ryan"/War effect
..i used about a 120th shutter in 24A for my short "soldier" to give it a stutter look, it could have been a little higher i think. but i didnt want to overdo it. but anything at 120 or higher should be close to what your looking for about 160th would be pretty ideal for the SPR or gladiator look with regular motion

Re: The "Saving Private Ryan"/War effect
I shot a wedding this weekend (very sunny out) so I shot 1/500th for some outside shots of the bride walking around a huge water fountain. Some of the best shots came out of that because of the detail. I'm getting ready to post grabs in the screen grab forum in a bit.

Anyone feel like they overdid that look in the Dawn of The Dead remake?

Everyone nailed it. Just remember, the higher the Shutter Speed, the more light you will need.

I dont feel they overdid it; I thought it helped add to the chaos and confusion as it developed.

Nah, this was a re-enactment. The battle was scripted and performed by the participants. The cameramen just had to be there, compose their shots, and have fun!

Man your seriousness and respect for your history astound me. That is something I can surely respect all americans for. We probably tried to do one of those in Brazil at some point. That's one of the possible origins of the Carnaval... ;D

It's a great hobby. In fact, Germans are fascinated with our Civil War as well. Many Deutschen travel to the US each year to participate in our re-enactments. We were right flanked by a German company at Pickett's charge.
BTW...Carnaval...is that like Falschings? Sounds like a blast.

Re: The "Saving Private Ryan"/War effect
I got the 60th anniversary 2 disc set yesterday.... watching the special features now.
I noticed when I was watcing the film several instances where there is this odd white haze coming in from the edges of the frame. I learned now watcing the special features on disc 2 that they had lenses manufactured for them without coatings to get this effect.
Brings me to... How can I achieve this effect without destroying my camera? Can I use some other filter (maybe strip the coating off of some cheap filter?) or effect in post?
Must be nice having a budget of millions and the option of getting custom made glass

Between the regular menu and the synchro-scan, you can choose practically any shutter speed from 1/24 to 1/1000. And on the 100A, you get the option of even slower speeds.
