How to Shoot Dance with Motion Blur & Detail

December 7, 2015 By Eric Reagan

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpDqh90NsKM&w=700&showinfo=0&rel=0]

In this video from Broncolor featuring Karl Taylor and Urs Recher, we learn how to combine two different kinds of lights in dance photography to capture motion blur and frozen detail. While they are using high-end Broncolor HMI lights with Broncolor Siros flashes, these concepts of working with flash and ambient light can work on any budget.

The key, of course, is setting your camera to rear curtain sync, so that the flash fires at the very end of the exposure, which gives you the detailed subject with the motion blur trailing.

Cloud Fly-Through Video from 3D Composite of 4 Photos

April 29, 2012 By Eric Reagan

Planet5D picked up the below video (crafted by Jeff Farmer) in Apple Motion using a 3D composite of 4 still images of clouds captured with a Canon Rebel T2i.

This is a great little technique that’s doable with basic 3D compositing skills in Motion or After Effects, or any other editor that gives you access to z-space adjustments.  The great thing about working with still images in 3D composites is the ability to reframe the massive images for delivery at 1920 x 1080 resolution.  The T2i delivers a 5K still image, so there’s a lot of room to work with or only to use a portion of the image for no loss of quality in an HD video.

If you are interested to learn more about this kind of work, there’s a great tutorial on some very basic 3D compositing at VideoCopilot.net.

If you use Final Cut Pro X, Motion or After Effects, this video is worth a watch.  FxFactory offers a ton of plug-in options for FCP X and has a very slick integration and installation.  There are several plug-ins that are free and useful, so it’s worth a look even if you only spring for the free plug-ins.
