Title: the slow shutter effect
Post by: md on August 12, 2004, 01:09:03 AM
when you see b roll footage, or additional bonus or extra footage, you notice at the end of the clip, it oversaturates due to the slowing of the frame rate I believe.  whats that called, and more importantly where can I find the a plugin that recreates that...i know its there..thanks

What you're seeing are the breaks in the film recording. Cameras start on the last frame they stopped, and that frame is usually overexposed to a white-out. It also can effect surrounding frames. Also, if you're using a daylight spool, the fronts and ends of your roll will experience this significantly.

You COULD recreate the look on video, I guess. You'd need to do some compositing. But it'd help if you have actual film experience and know how the light affects the individual frames.

I just found the exact clip you're after in an After Effects tutorial CD, let me know if you still need it. Probably too late now.
