While not as spectacular as Adam Magyar’s Stainless shorts, this new video technique is quite neat. Aaron Grime used Photoshop to blend regular footage at a 1/50th shutter speed into a new 24 frames per second with a one-second shutter speed film.
The result is, as he says, eerie:
What is done here is taking frames from video captured at 24fps with a 1/50th shutter speed and blending them together using Adobe Photoshop. The final product is a video that’s still played at 24fps but with a 1 second shutter speed.
The effect is eerie, causing things that do not move to remain sharp, but anything with motion to blur. The faster something moves to more faint it becomes. Where this is best shown is when something changes speed such as the shot of the man stopping in the street to check his phone, he almost appears out of nowhere, but when he walks off you can see his shape fade away.
