Last year's bursts were shot on tripod at a medium shutter speed (1/100-1/160).

Things to note from Venice Beach tests:

Fast Shutter vs Medium Shutter

Frame Delay

0.1 Frame Delay (regular motion) vs 0.2 Frame delay (slow motion). The frame delay factor is applied to same set of images -- it's a way to compare how you can choose to play images back in the sequence to see what sort of effect it has.

A lot of this was shot handheld, which is not ideal -- but was necessary due to permit requirements and the Venice Rec Center. I was able to use a tripod in a few instances which is preferable (and better) and how we would approach things on set. Captions note whether handheld or on tripod.

Frame Delay = controls speed of motion (regular motion, slow motion, fast motion). 0.1 frame delay is normal motion, 0.2 frame delay is slow motion and twice as long in duration.

Shutter Speed - controls look of motion -- smooth or not smooth (i.e. faster shutter speed => "300", "Gladiator" battle scenes, "Saving Private Ryan" opening sequence.

A medium or slower shutter for motion playback will be smoother, but individual stills images will not be nearly as sharp if there is much motion happening.

Burst FPS - last year's camera shot 8 FPS. Camera for tests shoots at Venice Beach shoots 12-16 FPS depending upon several factors.

All videos rendered at 30 FPS.

I've also included some gif versions of last year's series to compare to their mp4 versions.
