Yea, it's pretty low-res. As with all gimmicks (including software effects plugins), I always feel that if you don't already have a project/shot in mind that you'd use it on, don't do it.

Unless the money comes out of your toy budget, then: by all means! Very fun. I'm cutting together a reel of just high-speed stuff... stay tuned!

I agree. I lost the specular eye-lights in this one too. The solution is to bring the both lights (key, fill) around to the front more and bring the fill a little closer. (Oh, and I forgot to turn on one of my floor lights... grrrr... that's what I get for taking too long of a break from making vids.)

So that's one thing I learned this time. Here's another: This was supposed to be a quick project. Lesson: There are no quick projects!

I will agree with you, there are no quick projects. I like using a 2x factor. Take the time you think it takes and then double it.

Still a great video, please keep them coming. I hope you can make $ off these somehow.

I know the camera you are talking about, but haven't played with it yet.

My guess is that the video performance is superior to the Casio FH20, since it is a dedicated video camera and saves 1080i using H.264. The 300fps mode is 448 x 336, which is about the same as the Casio's 480x360@210fps.

Excellent question: My workflow is to edit 1080i60 all the way to the end, then switch to 720p24 and do my final color, tweaks, deinterlacing, etc. I just use Vegas, using the "Blend" option for deinterlacing (combining the two fields). Now, when I render, I know what my video is going to look like BEFORE I upload to Vimeo (indeed, I know what it's going to look like before I render!).

Not saying this is the only "right" workflow, but it sure is what works for me!

Also, I have another advantage: low-motion, well-lit video with a very simple background is very easy to compress!
