Hi Andreas.

You seem to know quite a lot about subtitling, and therefore I’d like to ask you for advice:

You wrote: “The next question is: do you want to do the subtitles on the final version of your project, or do want to start earlier and let the subtitles somehow “travel” with your edits.
[…] In the second case you could do the same (type or paste the text into a generator) but you you got more control during the edit.”

I have a project in Arabic, which I have people translating to English. Could you point me to a transcription + subtitling solution, where the translators can transcribe the film, with time codes, and afterwards I’d be able to print it, and also import to FCP where the subtitles “travel” with the edit. If the subtitles don’t travel with the edit, I have no idea what I’m editing.

Can I fx. use the textUp generator for this? Also with the time codes and printing part? Are there other applications/plugins that do the job better… or what are your thoughts?

I hope you can help me with this.

Many thanks in advance,

Ásta

Hey Sorin.

The actor moved at half speed while we were shooting at 720/25PN, 12fps, 1/25 Shutter speed.

That is: The actor moved more slow than normal speed. It is pretty weird, but it works 😉

Hey Sorin.

We haven´t filmed yet, but we had a test day where we tried different settings on the camera, where an actor moved in different speeds.

Our conclusion was that if we film with the setting:
720/25PN at 12fps and shutter speed either 1/25 or 1/60, where the actor moves half speed, gave the most satisfying result. Then we erased every 5th frame in FCP and that is just beautiful 😉

25PN doesn´t record any sound though, so you will have to record that on the side or afterward and then sync it in post production.

Hope it helps, and good luck with your project!

That´s an idea… but it lacks the nerdish fun of making it by hand… not to mention original.

We seriously want to make it by the camera… got any ideas?

Because:

1) This is a school project at UNI and we only get the camera for a week
2) We don’t have the tools, knowledge or time to make animation
3) It would look cool and original.. and would higher our grades if we could pull of to make it look like a computer game, even though it isn’t.

Somebody talked about filming an actor moving in slow motion, at 12 or 18 fps and there we should get the results we’re looking for, but I just want to make sure.

The story is about a computer game nerd who gets dumped by his girlfriend. To be able to deal with the situation, he imagines himself in a computer game where he gets a mission where he is supposed to kill her.

Something with the same style as a third person shooter.. Hitman for an example:

or

How would I get similar effects, without using CGI, with Panasonic HVX-2001? Does the player have to move extra slow or extra fast comparing to fps, or is there a way of shooting normally and then remove every 2. or 3. frame.. or something like that?
