Music: "I Am You" by Hecq ( hecq.de )
Slow motion and time lapses in Hong Kong.
Big thanks: Jeff Emerson, Pukka Films (pukkafilms.com) & Pebble Beach Systems.
Having missed our return flights, Fergus Dingle (tiny.cc/dnf3z) of Pukka Films and I tried to slow time in order to make the most of a free afternoon in HK. Naturally I left my 7d running to document our efforts.
Lenses:
Canon 70-200mm IS L F/2.8
Canon 10-22mm F/3.5-4.5
Canon 50mm F/1.4

Yes, shot at 60p, conformed to 24p and then slowed to 25% with twixtor.
Your images totally remind me my trip in HK, you really captured the city. Bravo !
Great!
the slo-mo shots are amazing! Now I have to stop hesitating and get a 7D :)
fortunately you missed the flight.
cheers

Furthermore, the super slow motion leads the viewer into the expectation of an emotional or visual crescendo. The music in this example endorses the sensation.
Happily the timelapse of the HK skyline delivers the catharsis.
as everyone has commented, the slo-mo is great.
i'm surprised that the setting is only 25% on twixtor because the footage seems much slower than the usual 25% slowdown.
was it set on blend?
I love my HVX200+Letus set up, however having worked with both side by side, the 7d's image is vastly cleaner. The HVX is a noisy camera to start with, so when you add in the little bit of grain you get with the Letus, things do get a bit dirty. The overall image is less sharp and less contrasty - not entirely undesirable qualities I might add.
Each setup has its pros and cons, just now for me the pros from the 7d/5dmk2 outweigh the pros of the Letus, but only because of the kinds of things I've been shooting.
I am looking at this video and realize I have the same setup (7D and Final Cut).... minus all the lenses. (I only have the Canon 15-85mm) Just getting to know the camera.
I love the escalator scene also. I am going to check out twixtor.
Gorgeous!
It wasn't an escalator, I was on a boat!
I used Aperture Priority - not really my favoured way to shoot but absolutely necessary due to the change in light. I ran it through GBDeflicker (granitebaysoftware.com) to remove the inevitable flickering you get when shooting with auto settings.
The rebel should hold up just as well.
What was the shutter speed used to film the 60fps shots?
Thanks!
Having not really intended to put the shots through Twixtor I shot with a frame rate of 1/100th, hence some shots show more motion blur than I'd have liked. If I'd been intending to Twixtor the footage I'd have shot at 1/400th.
Euan Preston, cool video, and you done right choice using slow-mo. I can see every detail on the video. Great :)
Special thanks to clouds, they were great too :P
I agree, should have made special thanks to the clouds for their part - they do seem to be getting typecast though....
I then took the conformed clips into After Effects and slowed them to 25% using Twixtor. This gives the clips a 'virtual' frame rate of 240fps. Had I not shot at 60p, I'd be limited to something like 96fps a due to the limitations of Twixtor.
Just wondering: after conforming form 60p to 24p, whats the benefit of slowing it down further with twixtor rather just using fcp to slow it down?
Thanks =) and great work!
Twixtor is a dedicated tool for the job - it doesn't just duplicate and blend frames like FCP, it uses motion estimation to track pixels and then creates tween frames. Using FCP to slow the footage by 25% would have created a very different motion, not nearly as smooth.
i live in HK. however, i have never thought that HK could be so beautiful!
I just installed twixtor as a plugin in fcp 6. Can i use the the twixter plugin in fcp to get the same effect or do i have to use the one in after effects?
Thanks again
Congratulations,
