  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

How can I reproduce this effect in-camera?

Any clue as to how they did the effect in the first five seconds in this Little Dragon Underbart video? How could I recreate the look in-camera? I've had some good responses in a Reddit post I made, but didn't know if there was more REDUSER help.
 
Looks like all you need to do is set varispeed to approx ~8fps and drag the shutter at a 360 angle. They did this a bunch in Chungking Express.

I've experimented with undercranking and the 360° shutter angle gets me the blur I want. The image on screen looks like what I want while shooting, but playback at 23.98 was fast motion instead of the dragged shutter effect I'm looking for.

The other part of the effect is step-printing frames to get back to 24fps playback. So if you shot at 6fps, then you need to repeat each frame 4 times to get real-time motion on screen. You can do this in Premiere by changing the Speed/Duration of a clip in the timeline to 25%. Just don't use frame blending or Optical Flow as that will smooth out the steppy motion by interpolating frames.
