![]() ![]() Today I am going to delve into Twixtor, which seems to be one of the favourites for cheating slow motion. So I did a bit of research and thought I would share my findings with you. (See my tutorial for Slow motion with the Canon 7D here) Unlike the Canon 7d and the 5d Mark III which allow slow motion by dropping to 720p, the 5d Mark II doesn’t give you an option to do any in camera slow motion. I want to do extreme slow motion but only have a Canon 5d Mark II.

Go to your "Video FX" and scroll down to "Twixtor"ġ2.I have used twixtor myself for a few projects but I have never had terrific success with it. One of the best filmmakers I know who uses Twixtor really well is my friend Salomon Ligthelm, whom I met when he lived in Dubai back in January last year. He put up a new video a couple of days ago, Gravity, and he was kind enough to write this guest blog post on how to get the best out of it. Twixtor will not give you as good results as a dedicated high speed camera of course. You need to light a lot to make them work but as you will read below you need to do the same with twixtor to get the high shutter speeds needed. But for those whose budget means renting a Phantom Flex or something similar is out of the question Salomon guides you through the best ways to make the most out this powerful, but tricky plug-in. Let me quickly explain how Twixtor works: It takes your footage [generally your transcoded 50fps, or 60fps footage and “guesses/interpolates” your missing/in-between frames Gravity – Director’s Cut from Salomon on Vimeo. I guess with every project the approach is somewhat different. When Twixtor becomes a part of my workflow I need to become increasingly more aware of the way I am shooting so that I have workable footage in post. I wanted to shoot something different to all the other Twixtor stuff I’ve been seeing – which have all been shot outside. I wanted to try shooting super slomo using the Canon 7D and Twixtor in interiors. Here are a few key things to consider when working with Twixtor:ġ. ![]() Shoot at a fast shutter: anything 1/2000 – 1/4000s. Shoot against a plain/solid colored background – sky/wall etc etc.ģ. The law of nature is that what must goes up, must come down. Its the movement at the top of an arc/trajectory that works best for Twixtor because that’s when things generally move the slowest, more frames of the relevant action for Twixtor to work with.Ĥ. When you shoot really close/tight, slow the action down manually ie – move slower and fake slow motion. Its easier to get good results with Twixtor when the action is shot from a distance, because of the fact that the action will happen across more frames – ie – Imagine moving your arms up and down – a distance 50 centimeters right in front of the camera – the camera will only catch SOME of that action as your arms pass by the front of the lens, for maybe 1-3 frames. However if you move away from the camera and shoot say 10-15 meters away from the lens, you would catch the ENTIRE action across say 7-10 frames – giving Twixtor more information to work withĥ. ![]() When you shoot high-speed you give Twixtor more info to work with – it is a shame that you have to forgo resolutionĦ. Shoot as much as you can – try to get the action from different angles – reshoot stuff if wasn’t working, or if your settings weren’t correct. Use Twixtor in After Effects – for some reason Twixtor works best in After Effects – for me at least. Probably because After Effects’ ability to manipulate time is so effective. ![]() – Edit the entire piece in an NLE and then I’d So here’s what I do in a typical scenario. ![]()

There are 20 discrete, Choose Your Own Adventure-style end states for the story, but some are small variations, and not all of them have unique art to express them. In these ways Papers simply shows the limitations of being a game made by a single person. ![]() ![]() Replaying Papers' early stages a second or third time unavoidably feel like busywork as a result, as you're stuck doing elementary checks on basic forms. The 20 official, numbered endings are somewhat cinematic, with narration and full-screen images, while the four unofficial and unnumbered endings are abrupt: resulting from the inspectors death on the job. My enthusiasm for Papers sank a little when I realized how much the game's interesting characters-like a recurring encounter with the members of a secret organization-are scripted in to appear at set moments. Over the course of 32 days, Papers, Please may end in any one of 24 different ways. It's thoughtfully balanced in a way that stays just a step ahead of you in difficulty as you become a more efficient bureaucrat. When those admitted blow themselves up near the bus, the world is affected on a much larger level than just this screen: newspaper headlines scream the next day. You might receive orders to confiscate certain passports. United Federation citizens might be prohibited one day. The set of rules you're mandated to judge people by, and your tools for doing so, grow in parallel with your competency. I took them and looked them over, hunting for discrepancies. The mental-emotional tug-of-war the game manages to stimulate through paperwork is impressive, but a lot is owed to its perfect pacing.
