When You Should NOT Shoot in 24 FPS

Producing for European TV you want 25fps since that is the standard there.

I dont think the slo-mo action scene in Sherlock was shot in 21fps... IMO

I think it's safe to say now that 48fps for movies never cought on.

I wanted to know if I should animate at 24fps or 25fps and he's like "whatever the film director wants. Well, I AM the film director in this case and idk what I want. But thanks anyway, man, I guess.

For old vintage films does it still look realistic if I was to use 24fps and add posterize time ?

Best fos for dance video

As a stop-motion animator, I animate at 24fps on twos, which is two frames per move. This way for subtle or fast moves and I can go on 1s and back to twos. Ends up looking great.

Hey dude, great Videos, love ur channel! Im a little confused when i go skiing. On the one Hand i want to have that cinematic look (24fps) but on the other Hand u are moving fast and its Sport. Do u suggest to shoot at 30 or maybe 60fps? My Plan was to shoot at 24fps (cinematic) but for some slomo i shoot at Higher fps to slow it down to 24... Whould really help me if i get a short answer from you. Greetings from Germany :)

Great video! What if I want to shoot a dance performance with no slow-motion? like real time, clean image. Thank you!

I read silent films were usually about 18fps but a lot of the time it was all over the place. To get fast motion you would turn the crank on the camera slower so when it's played at "regular" speed, the motion is thereby sped up, and opposite for slow motion. Hence when you hear the term "undercranking". Animated cartoons weren't necessarily done at 12fps -- When sound came in and the standard was 24, they always shot 24 fps, however, animators would often draw less frames for something that required less movement and more friends that required more movement. If you wanted to save money, you might shoot on "twos" meaning, 12 frames, but photographed twice for each frame. Warner Bros Animation (Looney Tunes, Merrie Melodies, etc) would always shoot on twos. The Walt Disney Studios would vary based on action, so sometimes it was done on twos, sometimes on 1's (1's being every frame aka 24fps).

i think actions scenes are been shot with high frame rate so you're be able to slow mo and speedramp whenever you needed , even if you don't need slowmo speedramping action better than shooting it with less fps , i suppose

I just shoot at auto bruh

the TV look is actually 60 FIELDS per second (30fps with interlacing on CRT TVs), so it fools you to seeing smooth motion such as 60fps.
Those cameras could record video at 60fps and broadcasting would pull interlaced fields from sequential frames to build out 30i for broadcast that was as smooth as 60fps.
Don't use interlacing, PLEASE, but use 60fps source material to make your content flexible enough for 1080i broadcast TV.
Also the 48 fps films were actually dual 24fps 3D-only dual projector setups. not a simple 48fps 2D single projector.

Explosives expert here that routinely films explosions. When filming booms, I recommend at least 20,000 fps at the very minimum for explosions. Higher velocity explosives like RDX or PETN need at least 30,000 fps to capture a decent video. The trouble is affording the camera. LOL

B roll

anything other than 24 fps in a movie looks like SHIT, and that video look you don't seem at all bothered by; after paying for a ticket, would you not be the least bit bothered by seeing a damn tv show in a cinema? Video looks like crap, always has, no matter the quality; 24 is that magic number, the most frames you can have per second before it just turns to the look of video, ie. nasty, cheap

Dance video what frame rate we pick?

Trust me. Shoot at 17.353 fps. You’re welcome.

Correction: A lot of vintage TV shows were shot in 60i, which is closer to 60p, instead of of 30p, as far as capturing motion.

I shot video at 24 fps a while back on the older generation iPad. It looks great and I never had a problem with the presentation of it.

I'm a straight shooter.

it wasn't 12 fps for classical animation, it was 24 fps mostly animated on 2's so i can see how people would say it's 12, but for high action scenes or smears you have moments where there's an animation every frame. a little bit of a technicality here, but the point is close

just shoot at max fps and cut it down to whatever fps you want later

are any famous music videos done in 30 fps? I swear sometimes I see some super clean quality videos but they feel like 30 fps ... and I don't mean with parts that slow down just a music video... I like the 24 fps but I find some of these new videos seem to be at 30. hope to hear from you and thanks for these episodes.

Stick to light science

There are no rules in filmmaking. Shoot whatever the hell you want and however you want it. Just don’t hurt anyone.

Hi Apture, question, what fps is better to shoot a vacation reality show?

Hey im just 20 on 3 months from now im not fully a pro in video making like a pro lvl graphed
But im looking for 24fps-30fps which should I choose for my music video but I didn't found any results if you may help me it would be great help
(Idea is to make video more cinematic than other regional videos of my country)

Could you please tell me at what frame rate professional documentaries are shot? Interviews and B roll included. If one chooses 4K pixel?

How would I get 21/22 FPS shooting with a DSLR?

Some of this is wrong and other sections are not explained to the reality of how certain frame rates are ultimately achieved.

how many fps should I be shooting if I'm shooting a live music show?

from my experience, CGI scenes you usually want to render your scenes at a high frame rate even as high as 1000fps just for that super smooth slow mo on scenes, obviously 1000fps can be overkill but hopefully you get the point (we still edit the scenes in a 24fps or 30fps composition so its technically a 24fps film but the shots rendered at a really high fps)

It all depends on what your shooting you use what frames rates are needed for the task but the standard is 24 for a reason it's the perfect balance of having a slower shutter speed allowing more detail per frame to be capture and adds that unique cinematic blur but again different scenarios what they are

AFAIA, traditional hand-drawn animation is still 24, it's just typically done "on twos" for most shots, and occasionally three's or four's for less important parts, and on one's for MORE important parts.

Because of course "old fashioned" films aren't HD, right? You know you're using TERRIBLE low-rez clips from Chaplin when those films are literally HD.

I can shoot at high frame rate and then reduce it in montage right?

Once you play at 120 you feel dizzy going back

Am I crazy in believing that the filmic look is actually about the shutter being at 50? Not the frame rate being 24?

You should never use 24 fps for anything. But most importantly, keep your videos at whatever framerate you filmed them at. Changing it makes it look unsmooth, unless it's exactly half or double framerate.

9. When you shoot in a PAL country (and want to avoid flicker).

Funny that this video is uploaded in 24fps and tries to show examples of higher frame rates 😅

On a gimbal when audio isn't crucial, shoot at 60fps or higher for even smother looking cinematic playback in a 24p or 30p timeline. It can even help to shoot at just 30fps if that is the best your camera can do and have a 24p timeline.

When your pc not longer counting FPS but SPF 😅

Is it a good idea to shoot at 30 FPS and then convert it to 24 FPS in post production? Someone recommended it to me but I can't remember why...

@Aputurelighting I would be curious what rate you would recommend shooting action sequences with, if the default rate was QHD/4K at either 60fps or 120fps.

Numer 9 - Almost all movies in cinematography - 24 fps. 😂

Insightful video! Your analysis of when to avoid shooting in 24 FPS is both informative and practical.
