Stuck In Motion

From the blog Stuck In Customs by Trey Ratcliff

Introduction

This is an exciting new combination of hardware and technique that is now available to everyone – from hobbyist to professional! Cool!

I enjoy experimenting and then sharing techniques and how-tos with people. I did the same thing with my HDR Tutorial, which you can have a look at if you are new to the site! (by the way, welcome!)

The Effect in Two Minutes

You’ll get a good idea of the technique by watching this video below. It’s called “The Moments Between: Seeing the Edge”.

Sometimes people just want to know the specifics, so here you go:

Hardware:

• Slow-motion footage – I used the Casio EX-FC100. It should be about $200 - check the latest prices at Amazon.
• Regular-speed footage – I used the D3S. See my Nikon D3S Review here on the site.
• Time-Lapse – I used the D3X. See my Nikon D3X Review here on the site.

Software:

• Graphics and Special Effects: Photoshop and After Effects: See the Latest Deals on Adobe Products.
• Note that you do not need these products at all. You can simply use iMovie or any video editing product.
  
  

In the video, I interchaged scenes shot with those three cameras. You can probably easily detect the slow-motion footage from the Casio EX-FC100 from the regular-speed D3S footage.

At the site, you will see more detailed information on the “technique”.
