[Konvas] steday shot !!!!

[Steve Zimmerman]

Thanks for the quick replies everyone.  I guess I'll go ahead and get the 60fps model.  I'll test how fast I can get away with.
 
I saw a restored Kenneth Anger collection DVD, and in post they fixed most of the shakiness in the slo-mo shots from his older shorts.  Some of the shots  have smearing jitter and could not be fixed.
 
Thanks again,
Steve

the final7 version don t work good ...

smoothcam is a god tool for shots, all shots after this look wescam for aereal shots or super steadycam for the rest of shots ....
YES YOU CAN !!!! it is the best tool i know for steady shots ...

you can ever do it for 2K images and come back to 35mm after .... WONDERFULL !!!

I was definitely planing on just using something like steadytracker or smoothcam, or whatever Final Cut has as post plugin for steadying the picture. I have no plans on making a contact print, just 2k scans at best, and a 1080p master The shorter shutter speed should give a sharp image for the software to lock onto right? I may just order the 50fps motor because it's cheaper too.

I don't want to swear to it, but I think anymore than about 40fps will not be good. The 1M/2M design just isn't ideal for high speeds, especially with the rotating mirror.

The TEMP SKL was made for higher speed work - and may work a lot better than the Konvas.

If you really need the higher frame rates, but don't have a lot of extra cash to plop down on a TEMP SKL, then look into cheating on your Konvas with 16mm and using something like a Filmo, which does up to 64fps, and modifying it for Super16 (or Ultra16) for better blowing up to 35mm.

I can't remember what frame rate you can get the Krasnogorsk up to, but you may want to look into that as well...
