under crank
Hi Gang
I need to recreate a tramatic scene of a sexual assault. I want the sound the carry the trauma and for the visuals only see flashes of things without making it graphic. My vision is to make it look as if it were shot on film and by undercranking a camera where the viewer sees blured and trailed images. I shoot with a Panasonic SDX900 so the best I can do is 24p. My question is how to best get the look of undercranking the frames in After Effects… any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Undercranking but playing back at normal speed so it’s hyper speed? Or the ol fashinoed undercrank look that is transferred at the same rate (which looks choppy and blurry)?
If you just want hyper speed then set the speed higher. But undercranking a camera creates dramatic motion blur. You would need a plug-in that creates motion blur in images out of nothing like ReVision Motion Blur. You can try echo but it’s not quite the same thing.
If you are looking for the second effect. Add time posterize and drop the frame rate down. Then add echo to smear it up a bit.
You may need to precompose in between the posterize and the echo since it’s two time effects.

One technic you could try also in addition to what Steve suggested would be to strobe the video in your NLE before applying effects. This might add to the effect.

The time posterize effect does that already if I’m interprating what you mean strobe to mean.

Consider lowering the shutter speed of the camera during the shoot. This will introduce the high motion-blur effect of over-cranking, without the speed change you would normally experience with film cameras. A shutter speed of 1/5 will give you 5 very-motion-blurred frames per second, which can easily be speed changd in AE if you require it.
