February

2007
"FRAME RATES FOR HD"
Networking is always fun, making new contacts is good for business and the food was fabulous
As our presenter for the February meeting MPFI Board Member Steve Brown shared his expertise on selecting frame rates for various production applications.
Steve provided examples of HD video recorded at various frame rates and shutter speeds to demonstrate what may work best for different situations.

Steve also reviewed the differences between interlaced and progressive scanning.

Steve asked a volunteer to model in front of the camera for this demonstration. It is evident from this photograph that the ability to adjust frame rates can cause certain effects such as motion blurring.

This is an example of how a higher shutter speed (on right) makes the image sharper even the posts in the background are sharp.
WEDU provided us with a tour of their production facilities including their studios.
A tour of their new digital master control room was an eye opening experience for all of us.
One inch, beta, hard drives, wow! How much equipment can you put in one room?
A special Thanks to WEDU for hosting the Media professionals of Florida.
