Slow-motion video with the Casio FH20

dhollmusik · 24th August 2011

I thought some of you Gearslutz might be interested in the slow-motion capabilities of the Casio EX-FH20:

From 4:15 it gets interesting, with flying bees!

Surprisingly, the slow-motion feature is quite rare in the market at the moment...hoping to see the big guns of Canon and Nikon pick it up soon.

By the way, the Gamelan sounds come out of the Roland SC-880.

They are an interesting camera , do you have one ?
Do they take a series of stills at that high fps ?

There is a thread that photography people post in , should pop in there sometime .

"Overcranked" shooting modes in today's point & shoots and DSLR's actually isn't that uncommon but they have to do it in lower resolution modes (heat issues etc.). One of the new Canons can shoot 240fps which gives you a 10% slow motion when conformed back to 24fps in your editor (24fps for the "film look").

The still camera bodies that can shoot video are still shooting progressive video with a codec off the cmos sensors which are much larger than video camera sensors... they aren't really shooting a series of stills but, in the end, aesthetically, that's basically what you are achieving.

DSLR film-making is what I'm doing now and why I haven't spent much time or contributed to GS much over the past year... my new obsession! My T2i can shoot 60fps in 720p and if I want slower motion than what that gives me when conformed to 24fps I use twixtor or the built in plugin in After Effects to go more radical with it... there's alot of cool videos on youtube with guys using Twixtor to give an equivalent overcranking of 1000fps in true HD.

I'm hoping the next generation of Canon DSLRs can overcrank at 1080p resolution... I'd even be happy if it could only do it at 60fps.

My main serious cameras have been, in this order: Olympus E-410 -> Canon 1D (Mark I) -> Panasonic GH1 -> Canon 5D (Mark II)

As well as synths I'm also a serious manual lens slut, for video a smooth-aperture dial like the old Soviet lenses is ideal, and even better if it's fast. A cheap and cheerful lens for this is the Helios 58mm f2.

Yeah I almost went the adapter with old FD lenses route with my Canon for the same reason, but I scored some newer sharp lenses for dirt cheap so I gave up on the idea.

Instead of buying audio gear this past year I've been investing in tools for working with aluminum and plastics and so far have built a set of rods and clamps, shoulder mount, crane/jib, motorized slider and am now working on a follow focus. Today I'm building a LED based video light to mount on my shoulder rig for trick or treating with my nieces next week... it'll run off a 12v Ryobi cordless drill battery I'll stick in the hood of my hoodie

I just ordered a Flycam Nano stabilizer but don't think I'll get it in time for Halloween.

That new EOS 1D X that was just announced looks sweet. I'll have about as much a chance of ever owning something like that as a U47. Something's being announced in a few days... maybe finally the 5D MKIII? ... and then there's the big announcement on Nov 3

The new JVC GC-PX10 looks great too.

"For super-slow motion shooting, the GC-PX10 can shoot video at 300 frames-per-second. Image resolution is VGA (640 x 360)..."
