  Video Footage of Brick in Bright Sunlight Getting Flicker

  Posted by Mike Mcready on June 3, 2014 at 1:49 pm

  If anyone can help me I thank you in advance.

  I have been shooting some exterior architecture (brick buildings) for a project I am working on. I have been very carefull with all of my manual settings but continue to have a problem that I cannot seem to solve.

  Issue/Problem: The Grout Lines of the Brick have a “flickering” effect when panning the camera.

  Prevous Attemts at Solving: Have tried multiple shutter speeds, verified ND filters, multiple frame rates, F Stops etc.

  Camera: Canon XF300
  Resolution Settings: 50MBPS 1920×1080
  FSTop Settings: Varied based on ND Filters I was trying. Anywhere from 5-8.0
  Shutter Speed: Shot at 1/30, 1/60, 180angle

  I am very frustrated. While still being an amateur I thought I could solve this but sadly I cannot. Can anyone help me?

  A) Is this just an anomoly with Brick Buildings in bright sunlight?
  B) Is there a filter or setting that could help me?
  C) If necessary I could upload a clip to Vimeo and Link it.

  Thank you so much community if anyone knows anyhting that may help me.
