Filming muzzle flashes in the dark
(Is this a video forum too?)
So I've come up with an idea for a video I would like to put together sometime; basically a compilation/comparison of muzzle flash on different barrel length and muzzle device combinations.
This past weekend I did some initial testing as follows:
-Camera on tripod with the lens at 15mm
-Subject about 5ft from the lens
-With lights on, set manual focus to be focused on the spot the gun would be
-Lights off
-Record muzzle flashes
Sequentially in the video there are six groups of shots as follows:
-Gun #1: Group 1: Full speed 60fps Group 2: Slowed down some at 120fps. Group 3: Slowed down more at 120fps
-Gun #2: Group 1: Full speed 60fps Group 2: Slowed down some at 120fps. Group 3: Slowed down more at 120fps
Here are the results:
Any thoughts on how to make this better would be appreciated.
