Frame rates and shutter speeds explained with such flair and ease. I've been in the industry for 10 years plus film school and finally understand. Thanks Russell and RIDE. Holy Cow!!! :)
This was a really good tutorial. I already knew what to do with shutter speed, but to someone who had no information on shutter speed or frames per second, this would be sooooo helpful.
Also, an important thing when filming at night, I always expose for highlights as oppose to everything. Remember, color grading in post can brighten these if needed. During the day I agree with Seth, try to have your ISO as low as you can for sharper, more clear image.
Thank you for making a video with some useful tips. There are a lot of videos that tell you to use the 180 degree rule and that's it. I will be trying these tips ASAP!
You probably dont care but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my password. I would love any tips you can give me
@Roger Shepherd I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
You go to menu and enable Manual exposure or something a line that, I believe it's somewhere on the left side of the menu section. Also I would recommend you to get Magic Lantern, It's free and super awesome.
ISO is how sensitive the sensor is. So it brightens your footage (or stills) but it makes the images more grainy. So during a sunny day i typically shoot at the lowest ISO i can get away with (i normally use 100 or 200 but it depends on what aperture and shutter speed you are using). I do this to get a less grainy image but still have the right amount of brightness. Same for shooting at night or in a dimly lit area. I still try to get the lowest ISO possible (i try not to go over 500)
Kind of hard to say as it depends on conditions of lighting ect.. But if you haven't got it I recommend you get a canon 50mm 1.8f it's cheap and got a amazingly low aperture. I think every cinematographer has it, the low aperture means you can shoot really well in low light.
yeah you can. when in filming mode, you hit menu and select manual for movie exposure next, when you re-enter filming mode on the bottom left corner you see a number . EX (250 00) and far right you see your ISO. ^Shutter Speed on top of the ISO button you have the lil' scroller. that changes your shutter speed. the bottom left number as i mentioned before as ex of 250 is actually 1/250 .. scroll to changed from 1/250 to 1/400 1/1000 Etc.
Canon 50mm f1.8, Sigma 10-22mm that'll give you nice wide angle for a long lens follow cam and the 50mm will be good in low light and give a nice shallow depth of field for tripod shots etcc...
You have to 'conform' the 60fps clips to 30fps using something like Cinema Tools in order to see the slow motion effect it's meant to create. This should then make all your clips 30fps. Not sure if that helps?
a video where it is more fluid because of the motion blur. a lowered shutter speed will create a nice motion blur to make the video look more realistic and fluid. like he said when filming broll and scenery shots with a lot of motion, use a low fps and low shutter speed to get a more life like feel, it wont look like the best most high res video ever, but it looks so real that you feel apart of the broll. also, broll is B-roll, just B rated footage. filller clips for a video, like guys sweeping
Can you help me? i have a JVC everio GZ Hm200 and i have a fisheye lens for it, but when i upload the videos to my laptop the lens always shakes back and fourth in the frame. is there anyway to stop this from happening?
when you exported this video to watch wouldnt you have to choose a framerate for it? I understand slowing down 60 for a 30 timeline, but i could barely see any difference in the 24, ive never really worked with anything but 30/60
Thank you for this. I was shooting based on the 180 degree shutter rule, and the footage looked terrible. Now I realize that 30p 1/60 is too slow for skate footage
I'm confused by the last clip @3:00 Is is 30fps played back at 24fps? If it was shot at 24fps, what speed is it played back at to appear slow motion? Thanks for your help
yeah i know. most people don't when when shooting low on a fisheye..so my point is why attach a viewfinder if your not using it.. but really my comments stupid cause its not that big a deal haha.
Could you also use a higher shutterspeed for sports (1/500 or higher) on 30FPS and add motion blur in post as needed? So you still have the option for 4K stills that are crisp or just freezing motion. Or would adding motion blur in post not be able to smooth out the video or even look very different than actually filming using slower shutterspeeds? I'm guessing background bokeh would be more blurry, what with having to open up the lens more. Or perhaps noisier if you have to slap more ISO in there to avoid shallower bokeh... Mostly when you can't control the lighting...
as a theater projectionist i learned that motion picture films (panavision) are played/shot at 24 frames per second. it s a lot of film.....what a wierd job that was..
it does take the piss but dslr's are so much cheaper for such high image quality when shooting film and are so adaptable. That said im shooting film on a sony handycam and photos on a nikon d3000 and still coming up with perfectly good results. Dont begrudge them too much, more cameras going off the shelves brings down the price for true photographers.
When in movie mode turn the wheel thing and it will change the shutter speed at the bottom left... Just read the fucking manual or look up a video on t3i usage

This is one of the best videos on youtube. Everyone who makes DSLR videos of skateboarding or not, you should watch it. Russell, you're the boss btw.
Also, an important thing when filming at night, I always expose for highlights as oppose to everything. Remember, color grading in post can brighten these if needed. During the day I agree with Seth, try to have your ISO as low as you can for sharper, more clear image.
This was a simple and straightforward demonstration; thank you!
Hay just shared your video on facebook as your video is the only one that is what every one need to watch :)
One of my favorite filmers. Dude had the best part in the new transworld video.
Thanks for sharing your Tips Russell !
Thank you for making a video with some useful tips. There are a lot of videos that tell you to use the 180 degree rule and that's it. I will be trying these tips ASAP!
Thank you for this great and simple explanation along with exact examples.

@Roger Shepherd It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account!
@Tristen Benson Happy to help xD
love these videos, you should do one on shooting sequences!
Thanks for posting. Easy to understand.
that was actually really helpful ive never found a happy medium with motion blur before
you have to go into the manuel PHOTO mode and when you change the shutter speed there is transfers into video mode
This guy is a legend.
You go to menu and enable Manual exposure or something a line that, I believe it's somewhere on the left side of the menu section. Also I would recommend you to get Magic Lantern, It's free and super awesome.

I was literally looking for this today this is the best series keep it up
What do you recomend for a good shutter speed if I am shooting 60i??? LIke 1/250 or 1/500
yeah you can.
when in filming mode, you hit menu and select manual for movie exposure
next, when you re-enter filming mode on the bottom left corner you see a number . EX (250 00) and far right you see your ISO.
^Shutter Speed
on top of the ISO button you have the lil' scroller. that changes your shutter speed. the bottom left number as i mentioned before as ex of 250 is actually 1/250 .. scroll to changed from 1/250 to 1/400 1/1000 Etc.

thank you !
these videos are soo sweet ! :) keep em comin !
thanks for this videos, they`re awesome tutorials

+yellow osiris hoodie looks like a plane pulling a banner
more like a chinese flying dragon

This is Legendary
great comparison, very helpful! THX!
Thanks for this. Very helpful and enjoyable to watch. A+
Gracias
Guys these tips are amazing, what program do you use to slow down your footage from 60fps. ???
A camera that hasn't been made for 10 years but is still the most popular camera for filming skating.
Holy crap! I learned a lot! Thanks a lot!
Thanks a ton!
Great tips!
thanks for this!
I think the 1/1,000 footage looks sick, it's smoother than real life.
You have to 'conform' the 60fps clips to 30fps using something like Cinema Tools in order to see the slow motion effect it's meant to create. This should then make all your clips 30fps. Not sure if that helps?
How about a tutorial on what the best types of lenses are for filming and photographing with a DSLR
What kind of mic are you using here?
Thanks for this awesome video by the way
Soooo Helpful!!!!
go to "menu" and set "movie exposure" to manual. Then you can adjust aperture and shutter speed :)
This video is still valuable
For manual focus, should I video infinity focus??
I was filming at 60fps with 1/125s Shutter, and it looked like i losed Focus... Thank you for this tips. I will try with the 1/500s!
Very helpful! Thanks!
This guy is hype! thanks dude
a video where it is more fluid because of the motion blur. a lowered shutter speed will create a nice motion blur to make the video look more realistic and fluid. like he said when filming broll and scenery shots with a lot of motion, use a low fps and low shutter speed to get a more life like feel, it wont look like the best most high res video ever, but it looks so real that you feel apart of the broll.
also, broll is B-roll, just B rated footage. filller clips for a video, like guys sweeping
Thanks mate!
Great tutorial.
3:07 i'll remeber that tip, never thought of that!
What's a cheap camera to begin photographing skateboarding with?
So would it be better to shoot in an interlaced format? 60i instead of 30p?
That was great.
with a fisheye whats the best way to focus.. just set focus to max and set apt to 8?
Can you help me? i have a JVC everio GZ Hm200 and i have a fisheye lens for it, but when i upload the videos to my laptop the lens always shakes back and fourth in the frame. is there anyway to stop this from happening?
Good tips. I couldn't figure out why my video was so choppy.
What lense would you recomend apart from a fisheye?
yes, you can
Besides the larger file size, what is the disadvantage of filming everything at 60fps than at 30fps.
when you exported this video to watch wouldnt you have to choose a framerate for it? I understand slowing down 60 for a 30 timeline, but i could barely see any difference in the 24, ive never really worked with anything but 30/60
Thank you for this. I was shooting based on the 180 degree shutter rule, and the footage looked terrible. Now I realize that 30p 1/60 is too slow for skate footage
THANKS
I'm confused by the last clip @3:00
Is is 30fps played back at 24fps?
If it was shot at 24fps, what speed is it played back at to appear slow motion?
Thanks for your help
Thanks
But the footage @3:14 looks like it was slowed down, yet it says that it was shot at 24fps, so I was wondering how that was possible
oh ok, I really thought that it was slowed down
Thanks
I'll put this in practice. I studied it years ago but I never thought of recording different. Let's have a try.
Thanks! But is 50p also good for slow mo?
Adobe After Effects CS6...if you cannot get this program, but use Final Cut, use Cinema Tools. ;)
he is so right. DSLR footy needs to be lower. I tested today on 1/125 and worked a charm. was bummed on my GH2 till i did this.
go to video mode then go to menu then go to the first icon and then go to Movie exposure and set it to manual instead of auto...
whats with the anomaly in the sky at 1:09????
how do i change the frame rate and shutter speen on my eos 600d?
Please make one about night time settings.......
What camera is he using?
This information apply to Panasonic HPX170?
Go onto Manuel mode set your shutter and frame rate and press the record button
what mic and dead cat does he have? thanks!
Would anyone know where the "FPS" is at on dslr's? I have a Canon t3i, but I'm not sure where to change the FPS on mine. Any help would be dope.
thanks a lot ! :)
We need Beagle to do a 'In Focus'. He is king of filming! King of the VX1000!
yeah i know. most people don't when when shooting low on a fisheye..so my point is why attach a viewfinder if your not using it.. but really my comments stupid cause its not that big a deal haha.
What kind of tripod was he using?
on my T3I I can't change the shutter speed on video mode I dont think, someone please help
thats for films/movies
try reading the instruction manuel for your camera... it tells you where everything is
Could you also use a higher shutterspeed for sports (1/500 or higher) on 30FPS and add motion blur in post as needed? So you still have the option for 4K stills that are crisp or just freezing motion.

as a theater projectionist i learned that motion picture films (panavision) are played/shot at 24 frames per second. it s a lot of film.....what a wierd job that was..
so my camera can shoot at 60 i, so what shutter speed do i shoot with 1/2000th?
120
Rode videomic pro
yeah i need help with that as we'll
it does take the piss but dslr's are so much cheaper for such high image quality when shooting film and are so adaptable. That said im shooting film on a sony handycam and photos on a nikon d3000 and still coming up with perfectly good results.
Dont begrudge them too much, more cameras going off the shelves brings down the price for true photographers.
go with 30fps. if u render it in 60fps the 30fps clips will become choppy
Now if only the RIDEChannel would follow these steps when making their trick tip videos...
"There is no right or wrong but this is how you do it"
i cannot find any of these.
cud i recommend a 550d
When in movie mode turn the wheel thing and it will change the shutter speed at the bottom left... Just read the fucking manual or look up a video on t3i usage
HELPFUL! (Y)
1:01 spelled footage wrong
well i mean you might look at it to set up your shot but after that its all skill
