Nice fun in the studio with epic 300fps

[Ryan De Franco]

Above 2Kw, the filament heats to the point where its vibration is too fast to create flicker. The 2K line is just a rule I heard somewhere, I've used 650W lights with 60 fps footage no problems, I think it might be 120 and up where tungsten requires 2Kw+?

Obviously my math is awful, the filament vibrating is the reason anyway.

I found that even 5KW flicker sometimes so I use 10KW+

For those that are interested in lighting for high-speed, here is a good primer on the issues. It's written for Phantom, but it applies to any high-speed over-crank situation.

Thanks Dave for the link. Very helpful.

Thanks Artur for the demos and setup shots. Keep up the good work.

Now that's a fine use for a bottle of whiskey!

Some BTS photos for you guys.
For strawberry and paprik footage we used 5x10KW

I must say that I love EPIC! It gives me so much possibilities. I learned a lot this week about lighting for hi speed shooting!
I will continue learning more creative ways to light and looking for interesting subjects.

Thank you RED Team for this possibilities

I just returned from holidays and from tomorrow we start the next series of shots.

I've read that it's not the frequency, but the temperature reached by the filament. It gets hotter but it cools less. The current being AC implies that there's not always current through it.
