Sport filmmaking

[Humberto]

Hey there! I'm from Portugal and I´m starting a project called Mindless wich basicaly it´s about sport filmmaking (mainly bodyboarding).
Can anyone please tell me wich are the best settings to shoot fast movements? i want to use some slow motions and i want to minimize the drag effect...
Thanks in advance!

use 50i rather than 25f shutter speed 250-500

[Humberto]

50i is the normal HDV mode, and do you think a 250-500 shutter speed will help slow motions and yet maintain the image quality?

Every scene and every movement is different. Play with shutter speeds and see which one works best for your available light, level of movement and final cut. Higher shutter speeds will strobe more and require more light, lower shutter speeds will smear more and require less light.
