Fun with Motion!
 

I shot this with a couple after there wedding. We had some extra time and thought it would be cool to put together a little extra edit.

It was shot on the XH-A1 in 24p. I've been using this slow-mo plugin called Twixor and it has some really cool effects. Check it out and let me know what you think -

Very nice work! Tell us some production details.

Howdy, Neighbor. That was fantastic. I really enjoyed their wedding trailor as well. They must be thrilled with your work.

Keep posting your stuff -- it's great.

Bit that got me was the camera flash in the back of the car. You can almost see the flash rise and fall. You keep slipping really nice stuff in under the radar. The encoding quality was also seriously nice.

What was the music, please!

Very nice!

really great stuff, and fantastic encoding! oh, and do u mind sharing that song with us at all?

maybe you or someone else could answer something about Twixtor for me, as i've been looking at getting this for some time now (mainly for music video purposes):

- render times, good or bad?
- comparable to Premiere Pro CS3 advanced time-remapping??

cheers

Outstanding Joe! You are a credit to Texas artists.

Joe - great stuff! I'm a big fan of your work and have always been impressed with the encoding quality of your samples. Can you share any details?

The correct spelling is Twixtor - here's the link

Excellent work! I love all the speed changes throughout - very smooth.

Thanks for the compliments! I had a great time making this piece.

Like I said it was shot on the XH-A1. I did however shoot the time-lapse's with the HVX-200. The moving shots were done with the Glide-Cam 2000 with some added weights.

I do all my editing in FCP so I'm not sure how Twixtor would compare to CS3's time-remap. But the render time is quite long, usually 2-5 min per clip. But once you get the hang of it you pretty much know what its going to do with the different settings.

The song is called "Edge of the Ocean" by Ivy

For encoding I use Compressor in FCP with the H.264 codec. I usually set my bitrate around 1600 and that does the trick. Nothing else special then that.

Thanks for checking it out!

Joe, are you using the pro version of twixtor, or just the vanilla?

I'm not using the pro version just the normal 4.5 version.

is it twixtor that is giving you those really smooth slow mos with 24p...or is FCP just better at slowing 24p down than my Vegas? If its a setting in twixtor that helps give 24p slowmo that smooth feel....then i'm in!
