Nice fun in the studio with epic 300fps

[Artur Orzel]

It's not a Phantom camera, but I see a lot of possibilities...
RPP lenses
Color grading Davinci

This week I want to shoot every day and I will post all shots on vimeo and post links here

I'm doing these shots for my portfolio so I will be grateful for any advice and suggestions

Tonight we bought a bottle of whiskey...;-) and edit some new and old shots.

Nice work Artur.

You should put the lighting in LARGE LETTERS.

That's 30,000watts of light to produce stunning high speed images.

[Will Keir]

wow, the lighting is top notch! 30k watts?!?! Are you serious? I'd like to see how your setup looked and how many lights you used for the shoot.

 

[Michael Thornton]

Wow, you know how to light for sure. Beautiful.

 

[Michael Mayda]

Beautiful. Excellent use of the 3x10ks. You show us that a lot of cool stuff can be done at 300 fps.

 

[Keith_D]

Very nice results (and under tungsten lights!)

 

[Artur Orzel]

Thank you guys!!
I don't have much experience in high speed shoting, so I'm very glad that you like it!
Today I spent another day in the studio trying to find my way to lighting hi speed

this week I want to shoot every day and I will post all shots on vimeo and post links here

I'm doing these shots for my portfolio so I will be grateful for any advice and suggestions
Tomorrow I'll make pictures from the set, to show how I set the light.

today's test shots:

Nice footages Artur, not bad at all for test.
People who complain about noise with the Epic at 300 Fps should lurck into that thread.
Peace

 

[Justin Marx]

Beautiful!

 

[D Fuller]

I love this thread.

 

[Andy Roberts]

Gorgeous imaging. So are you going to post BTS photos showing the setup? That would be very helpful.

I'd love to just see how people make shots like this without making a mess? Do you use a special table or ?

[Artur Orzel]

This was base light setup. Of course we added some mirrors and other things for background, and reflective planes for fill later.

Tomorrow I'll post more BTS photos and some new shots.

I read about noise at 300fps but I didn't totice any problems. Pictures are clean and sharp.
We always do blackshading before shoting and don't go higher than 400ISO.
I like 80c filter when I shoting with tungsten lights it gives me about 4200 Kelvin but even without this filter I had no problem with grading in Davinci.

And yes there was a lot of mess...

 

[Emmett Stang]

Wicked footage.

 

[Andy Roberts]

Thanks Artur. I'm very interested in this type of capture... overcranked, water, fruits and veggies... I only have 3x 1,500 Watt Photoflex lights and I have trouble not tripping breakers in my house . I can't imagine 3x 10K Watts.

 

[Artur Orzel]

Andy you can't use small lights for 300fps because of flicker

 

[Ariel Weiss]

Hi Artur
Looks really great!
Did you try hmi's? Im interested in the flicker issue (even with flicker free)

 

[Brian Iannone]

Just out of curiosity, why did you upload such small files to Vimeo (720x300)? I'd love to see this a higher resolution.

 

[Ryan Lalonde]

Some of the best looking 300fps footage out there!

 

[Andy Roberts]

Artur, I did some experiments of my own last night using only 1 fixture with 2000 Watts and got decent results even though the subtle flicker was there as you said. So what specifically is it about the lights you are using that keeps the flicker from happening. Is it related to power frequency?

 

[Thomas Akira Nakasone]

has anyone tried using LED based lighting to subdue the flicker?
