Slow Motion
I’m in pre-production with a documentary that’s going to require a lot of 120 and 160 fps slow motion. We would like to be able to play around with the framerate and even get slower motion than the 160fps. A couple questions about this:
1) We have yet to purchase the cameras. What’s our options for HD slow motion? I seem to recall there’s a camera that shoot this, but I’m not well informed in this area.
2) What should we prepare for in post to be able to tweak our slow motion. I’ve played around with Twixtor a little, but it’s been a few years. Is there something better? Boris?
Thanks in advance,
Eric -

If I’m not mistaken most of the cameras out there will only do 60fps and lower as far as speed changes go.
But you could very well get the results you want shooting at 60fps and using twixtor (one of the best to this day for re-timing)

Eric,
In terms of cameras, it depends on what flavor of HD you are planing on shooting your normal speed stuff at (720p, 1080i, 1080p). If you are going the 720p route, there are a handful of cameras out there that can get you close to those frame rates your looking for, but if you are going 1080i or 1080p, then you would be looking at some of the higher-end high-speed HD cameras to get anything over 60fps. In this case you would probably want to rent and not buy, I would just need a little more info from you in order to recommend cameras to look at in this range. In terms of software for slowing down and re-timing footage, shake does a beautiful job with re-timing. Hope this helps.
best regards,
jeremy

Maybe try the latest version of Twixtor, it changed a lot in the last years
