Seriously: Tips on homemade s*x video???

Question

How many frames per second? Apeture, etc. I filmed quite a few, but get very choppy images (using a Canon HF100), not very smooth transitions, and some off focusing.

Was shooting at 30fps on standard mode. Obviously camera has to be 6+ feet away for most scenes, as the lens isn't wide angle. Any tips. Seriously......

Answer 1

On FPS, you don't get a choice... 30 fps is it for than camcorder.

Capture at highest quality.

Lighting is important - perhaps ruin the mood, but turn on some lights.

Don't do transitions on the camcorder - it is to capture video - do the editing in a computer and add transitions there.

In auto focus - especially in low-light, the camera won't know what to focus on. Or drop into manual focus.

All of these tips apply to any video capture - not just what you're doing.
