Cheap high-speed camcorder for slow motion video and amateur movies? I am looking for a cheap high-speed camcorder for slow motion video and homemade movies.
I want to use it for alter effects to create an amateur movie with my friends. I haven been using iphone 4 (30fps) to discover my requirements and does not seems to be working good with the tracker when following things like balls.
Do you have any advice or suggestions? | Casio is the only brand that comes to mind...

Casio EX-ZR100 seems to be the best but i want to be sure.
Do you have any advice or suggestions? | Those Casio's are cool.
Part of the problem with your cell phone, is that they use H.264 compression, same as HD camcorders.
This relies on reference frames, as few as 2 per second, that the remaining 28 frames are based on. A poor method for motion!
A simple switch to good old MiniDv will help, at least to a point. MiniDv is uncompressed in the brightness channel, and what little compression it has, is interframe. No frame is dependent on its neighbor for its image data.
By taking the 29-97 frames/second from MiniDv and doing what your camera does under normal conditions (Interpreting frames) you can get a 15:1 slow motion.
In real editing, I have gone to 20% (5:1) with pretty good smoothness.
Compared to your phone, even a cheap, low-end MiniDv camera (new or used) will likely give much better results.
For extreme slow motion, bullets, hummingbirds, exploding water balloons etc, you need the 1000:1 or better like you can get from the casio. But for sport wipe-outs etc, you just need a better format. | Is the ContourHD video camera a great camera for making movies or homemade movies? When I say movies, I mean a movie with a plot, script, director, and actors/actresses. I am a 15 year old movie maker and I make movies and shows on DVDs for my family and friends to watch for free. I think of myself as an entertainer. I'm also a amateur visual effects artist and computer animator. I think the ContourH HD video camera is a great camcorder because I've seen some of the test videos made from the ContourHD and they have a very high resolution and fantastic quality! I know it's expensive, but that okay. I also heard that this camcorder comes with a waterproof case, but it's optional and you have to pay $30 for it. So answer my question please: ContourHD video camera a great camera for making movies or homemade movies?? | It is a good helmet cam.
Since it does not have a mic jack, manual audio control, small lens and tiny imaging chip - and no zoom or other controls, using it as a "general purpose" cam means using it in a way that it was not designed to be used...
Will it work? Sure. Is it a good way to go? Not really.
For example: A bicycle is a great way to get from one place to another. But if you want to carry a bunch of people or groceries, using a wagon or a car or a truck would be a much better way to get that stuff moved. That said, if the bicycle is your only choice, it is what it is and you do the best you can with the tools available. | How accurate are College Parties portrayed? In movies, and mostly (homemade amateur) porn, theres College (Frat) Parties
Im curious to how accurate these are shown
Normally its just a LOT of drinking and a LOT of public, out in the open, sex, bjs, hjs, kissing, etc.
Im in high school and i dont really believe that when you go to college all the girls turn into whores.
I mean, are college parties really like this? With all that public sex and stufF? | | yeah there is lots and lots of drinking. There is way more provocative dancing and making out in public than at high school parties but public sex is not normal. Many people do end up hooking up but they leave/go into a private room. Lots of times for frat parties, the guys will only let the hot/skankishly dressed girls in, and often those are the type of girls who like that type of party too anyways. The degree of slutiness is higher at those parties than in college in general. Also, often college parties are also just a bunch of mainly guys hanging around getting wasted and playing beer pong. Not particularly exciting. | Professional Camcorders, and High Grade Amateur Camcorders- I need a list of them? I am looking for a good camcorder that I can use on movies that I make. I don't mean crappy youtube videos, I mean movies for private showings. So, I don't have a very big budget yet, but I need a camera with a good Pixel rate and a port for a microphone so I can directly connect my homemade boom mic. So, if you all could, I would appreciate a list of camcorders fitting this criteria, preferably low budget, but if not, that's fine. | The least expensive camcorders with a mic jack AND manual audio control are the Canon HV20/HV30/HV40 and Sony HDR-HC9. They are both consumer-grade miniDV tape based camcorders. It goes up from here. You will need a good tripod, mics, and lots of other equipment.
"Pixel count" is not a measurement real camcorders use. They are Standard Definition, High definition or Ultra-high definition and the number of horizontal lines and interlaced frames vs progressive frames combine to determine resolution.
We don't know what your home made mic can do - consumer grade camcorders use a 1/8" stereo audio jack... if they even have a audio-in connectivity (other than their built-in mics). Most consumer cams do not have manual audio control.
The "prosumer" range starts at the Sony HDR-FX7 and HDR-FX1000.
Pro camcorders use XLR audio jacks... | Question about porn (serious question)? Why is it that when I started watching porn (around age 13/14) I ONLY enjoyed watching professionally produced porn videos. With the girls that have perfect bodies, fake boobs, fake hair, etc.
But now (I'm 19) I HATE that kind of stuff? Why is it now that I'm 19, I ONLY enjoy watching amateur videos or homemade videos or videos made by regular people and not professionally produced porn movies? It's almost like I get more turned on by watching homemade or low quality videos because they seem more realistic and so I can relate to it better
Does this happen to anyone else? Is this normal? | | its normal mate | Tips on shooting a home video? My roommate and I are going to be shooting a homemade video later tonight for the fun of it. (I'm a guy, she's a girl, and yes it's a sex tape, before you ask.) Anyway, since most amateur porn sucks, I was hoping to get tips on shooting a decent quality home movie so it will at least look as good as possible. Angles, lighting, etc. | Angles are up to you - but if you watch examples that you like, then copy them.
Use a tripod.
LOTS of light.
Adjust the white balance correctly.
This is no different from any other production. | Trying to find out what 90's movie this is? Its from the 90's I think...
About a girl in school who meets this new friend (possibly Fairuza Balk?) who is all badass.
I remember only a few scenes,
In one, one of them refuses to dissect a frog in science and I think she (Fairuza) maybe escapes out a window...
in one scene the badaass girl climbs up to the top of an iron bridge just for fun
i think they give each other homemade tattoos,
oh and the main character is an amateur photographer...
and also possibly being harassed by her teacher.
Yes thats a lot of disconnected info. Let me know If I'm confusing two different movies together or something. I remember liking it as a guy and would love to know the title!
thanks! | | Could it be "Foxfire"? | Tips on shooting a home video? My roommate and I are going to be shooting a homemade video later tonight for the fun of it.
