What's the best shutter speed for taping dancing?
Hi Folks!
I'm making a music video on an infinite white background. Since there's lot's of fast dancing, was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the best shutter speed to use? Other info: Camera - Sony HVR HD1000U (single CMOS camera) Lots (& lots!) of lights. Thanks y'all! |
Just use the cam's default of 1/60.
|
1/60, unless you want the disco look - then crank it up (and get more lights).
|
Yup, 1/60 UNLESS you are looking for the strobing effect that comes with higher shutter speeds (think of the look of the tight follow cam in world championship swimming events).
|
I'm actually just finishing up an edit on a dance show right now. If you're shooting 30p or 60i I'd use 1/60th. If shooting 24p I use 1/48th. Either of these shutter speeds give a pleasant amount of motion blur and avoids unnatural looking strobing and judder.
That's just my opinion. -Garrett |
He's using the HD1000U, so his only option is 60i.
|
Sorry, missed that little bit. Then 1/60th would be my choice.
|
Thanks everyone!
Looks like 1/60 it is!
