Shutterspeed and Frame Rates // Explained with a Fidget Spinner

i seee..... thanks for that... now either i have to get some NDs or artificial lighting and modifiers...

Does this mean you can do a good slowmo with a higher shutterspeed?

The change in shutter speed on a rotating object looks really cool and could have some uses. If you want to convey that a fan blade is about to chop someone’s head off, seeing the blade could help the audience understand what’s going on. I guess you could also slow the fan down but transitioning to a lower shutter speed in the same shot could add something. Is there a smooth way to do this on most cameras or can it be replicated in post? I’m more from the audio world so I want to modulate everything lol

Been in photo for about a year now. Trying to learn video! Thank you for this explanation! so clear and easy to follow.

Great! Thanks really helpful.

Excellent video!

This was a good video.

This is very useful. The fidget spinner puts everything in perspective instantly!

This is the best video so far about why to use nd filters. Thanks 🙏. The fidget example was brilliant.

With normal movement like walking and taking or a wedding ceremony or events. I don’t think the shutter speed really matters as long as you don’t go below with your frame rate. You have to try a new video with just normal talking and walking and see if it will affect the final output.

Amazing video but why use an ND filter when shooting outdoor if you can simply just set the ISO at auto?

i found that 1/180 works better than 1/125 with 60fps. does anyone else thinks the same?

Hi Chris Brad Heiner KeyGrip here, I really enjoyed your video, I loved the Fidget Spinner demo Brilliant !!

Been looking for a video to visually explain shutter speed, found it here ! Thanks for your experienced insight 👍

Super helpful! Was getting some weird motion when filming out in bright daylight. This explains why. Appreciate it!

That was one hell of a spin

Great video brother!!!

Very 👍

Just watched the video, an amazing demonstration, that was clever, well done👌👌👌

That was helping

This was a great video, thanks!

Perfect short and concise, thank you

Great Video! Thank you.

If I’m recording extremely bright (surface of the sun type of bright) things at 240fps, what setting should I use?

thank you :)

Thanks for the explanation of the 180 rule appreciate it!

It's been a recurring theme in the comments down there, but I must say it - the idea of using an item moving at a reasonably steady rate for a longer period of time and seeing how the video changes while setting different shutter speed values - is brilliant. It's a strike of a genius, quite honestly. 6 minutes long video and so much knowledge passed on. Kudos @chrisbrockhurst

Wait... So if I want to film myself playing like pool or snooker or table tennis, in order for the cue action/ball movement to not be blurry at the point of highest action speed, all I have to do is crank up the shutter speed. Awesome! I finally understood what I need, thank you!
P. S. Why would anyone want any blur on the motion? My struggle is to get rid of blur. The blur hides the action... It hides what's really happening, or at least it makes it less clear 😐

Really can’t figure out what’s best for showcasing fireworks

Hey Chris,
Not good, It's a Great video. Thanks for teaching me this.
Question - Had you made a Version 1 of this video. first you showed it to someone and they didn't understand it. So to make any sort of an amatuer understand this relation you made a video again like version 2.

Motion blur is horrible & should be avoided as much as possible when light is available & shutter speed as high as possible

Thank you. Can you make a video explaining the combo of iso, shutter speed and frame rates for video?

What if you use slow shutter speeds like 1/8 - 1/15?

Thanks for this video! Nicely explained.

this is a good video.

it would look even better with a 360 angle shutter. I don't know why people hate it. you need every bits of motion data captured to form a complete flow of movement.

Learnt a lot from this video, thank you

This was so helpful thank you! I was wondering if when you have off-speed frame rate on if that plays into what choice you make for shutter speed at all? I’m still learning to understand that. Like if I have a 60fps with 120 off speed frame rate, would I still choose 1/120 shutter speed? Or if I have 25fps it’s an off-speed recording at 60fps, would I still choose 1/50th shutter speed? Thank you!

Perfect demonstration!

That fidget spinnet 1000 shot was actually pretty cool lol

I learn something, thank you!

Dude, thank you. That was a great explanation

Great video 👏👏👏 that experiment at the end really did make that lightbulb moment go off in my head 😅😅 Thank you

but let's say I want to shoot an action scene like a gym workout video and I want it to have that fast looking motion, what frame rate / shutter rate would you use ?

Very good example. Thanks

Doesn't get much more clear! My main issue with ND's is... getting them off again. It's a bit of a hassle, but for a proper video 'project' so worth it.
That said; Any idea why 1/48, 1/120th or 1/240th isn't an option in video? You'd say that with a digital shutter it shouldn't be an issue?

thanks bro🤘

This was a good video. Cheers m8.
