    All,

    I have been watching the Fruit Of The Loom “Blues” Commercial for a considerable time and have had no luck in reproducing the frame rate/setup.

    It is clearly a “dropped” frame rate of some sort retimed to the audio.

    My tests and attempts with an HPX-500/HVX-200 have been less than stellar.

    Somebody throw me a bone here witha suggested set of settings:
    1. Recording FRAMERATE
    2. Recording Shutter
    3. Playback framerate-or any appropriate FCP/AfterEffects post options.

    (Obviously some of the commercial footage is backwards as well.)

    I have tried several setups with little success. Frame blending seems to come into play, but I am getting too much softening. The FOL ad remains very crisp.

    All help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    -P

    I guess an example would help.
    The YouTube version is not encoded well…so you will probably want ot catch it on broadcast.

    The “walking” sequences are when it is most evident in spite of the poor encode.

    Looks very much like standard slow mo to me with a slow shutter, slightly sped up in post. I’d go 48 fps over 24 at 1/48 should do the trick and maybe speed up by 150%.

    The real trick is that the lead singer is lipsyncing to a reversed and slowed-down version of the song and performing his actions in reverse and slow. So that when the entire video is reversed and slightly sped up everyone else is moving backwards in awkward movements while he appears to move forward at full speed. Cool in-camera trick. Though I’m sticking with Calvin Klein’s thanks…
