![]() ![]() The video below is one of the best I have come across for quite a while on the subject and explains the technical side of slow motion (but not too technical!) and how to get great results. These days things are much better but it is surprising just how many people still get poor slow motion results without really understanding why. The reason for that was that in order to create the slow motion effect the software could only do it by playing each frame twice and that in turn, completely messed up any motion in the video. Once you loaded any of that footage into an editor and tried to slow it down things went bad very fast! Still cameras were useless for video and so your only choice was a camcorder and as I said, you only had the default frame rate to choose from. The reason for that was that most video at the consumer level at that time was being shot either at 25 frames per second or 29.97 frames per second depending on your location. ![]() One of the earliest features that was added to video editing software many years ago was the ability to create slow motion videos.Īt the time everybody was all excited about doing that only to be very disappointed by the results! However then some smart person added some dramatic music to the action of the chipmunk and Dramatic Chipmunk was born! How to Make Slow Motion Video (Slow Motion Tutorial for Beginners) The original clip was just of a chipmunk turning around and was not really anything of note. Years ago there was a video meme going around called Dramatic Chipmunk. However if you think about it a little deeper it is an awesome example of just how powerful the audio track of any video really is. On the surface of it sure, you get some good tips on what can be done to achieve a decent sound design and that all great. The reason I think this one is particularly interesting is this. The idea is to mute the existing soundtrack of a video and then build their own audio track to go with it. This is another “Cinebattle” from the guys at Cinecom and this week they have done a particularly interesting challenge. ![]()
