Slow-Mo

A technique that I want to play around with is using slow-mo as it was used to such great affect in the Texas Toast Video that is on this blog somewhere. I think when it is applied to tricks it can really emphasize the technique and skill required to pull them off, or in the case of my shirt video above not pull them off. I don't think it is something I will use alot in the video but I think if it is slipped in occasionally it can look really good. It is very easy to do in final cut pro as just an effect you apply to footage shot t a normal frame rate. However to get really smooth slow-mo footage you need to use a camera that can shoot at a higher rate of frames per second. This could be worth investigating in future projects.
