Emm. Oops.

Sorry about that guys, It was first thing in the morning :-/

I didn't realise that fool had included every newsgroup under the sun to his
post. I appologise in advance for all the spam this group will
undoubtedly obtain from his ned-friends on warez.ibm-pc, etc, etc which all seem
to be on the distribution list.....

Sorry :-(

Stu

You'd need 70 FPS if you were screening it for your old high school physics
teacher. By slowing things down "just enough" I meant enough to look good for a
general audience, not a room full of scientists. Overcranking by a few FPS is all
that's required to give the impression of reduced gravity. It's not slow-motion,
just a little more graceful and deliberate. That's why I also said "without
looking silly". The NFL does this all the time when they shoot film, although not
by the 30 or so percent I have in mind. If you go back and look at NFL footage,
you will see that quite a bit of it is just a little slower than normal speed. It
heightens the impact and "bigness" of the plays. I think this was done for
dramatic reasons because it's not nearly slow enough for play analysis. And in any
case, the footage looks so nice it had to be meant for public consumption.

As far as audio, that could be done by recording the lines in advance at normal
speed, then playing them back on the soundstage 30% faster for lip syncing. Since
the camera is speeded up by the same amount, the final result is semi-slow-motion
with normal sounding audio. Re-looping may be required later in a recording booth,
but if the director got a decent take on film, that's usually not a problem. This
technique is used all the time in music videos, where you see someone jumping
around in slow-motion, yet their mouths are perfectly synced to the music. During
shooting, they were lip-syncing to the Chipmunks version of their own song. Of
course, that's a little more extreme than what you'd need for a film like 2001.

I'm using Speed Razor on an Alpha and I've found at least 5 major
bugs, and I get crashs all over the place.  I have not had a chance
yet to evaluate Premiere 4.2 for NT but I loved Premiere 4.0a.  Never
had any problems.
