Dear Folks,
Here is one for someone far more wise than I. I am doing a DVD for a conducting professor at one of the local universities. This involves close-up
(torso) shooting of his thin white baton moving through space quite rapidly
against his black shirt. When setting up and doing some intial shooting
I noticed the baton seems to break into a couple of images ( the image of the
baton and a bit of a second or blurred image as the baton moves through
space ). As I increased shutter speed the effect became far more pronounced.
I'm shooting with anXL1s so I settled on a shutter speed of 60 with a relatively
open iris. I shot in frame mode, but I also checked it out interlaced; there
was no noticeable difference. I've achieved the best image I can in camera
( I think ), and it is suitable but, I'm trying to tweak it in post to eliminate
the baton delay ( I'm sure there is a technical name for what I'm experiencing
but I don't know what that is )......so here are the questions: what am
I experiencing, and are there any suggestions for messing with this in post.
I'm editing on Final Cut 4. I need to retain as much of the clarity of the baton against the black background as possible as this is imperative from an instructional point of view. Any help or comments would be welcome.
Thanks, Glen
