Re: Pinnacle 14 FPS Test

Here's what I'm trying to say:

BertL in a different thread about fps wrote:

If 12FPS doesn't look right, it's the animator's fault. Animating at 15FPS simply requires different increments and timing to make things look right than 12FPS. Something that takes 5 frames to animate (like a step forward) on 15FPS needs 4 frames to be just as fast on 12FPS.

So the framerate used is up to the animator.  Personally, I choose 15.  It's a few more pictures than 12fps, but that still doesn't mean it's going to be better.  It all depends on how you animate.  I don't know specifically who shoots at 12fps, but I've heard that many do.

Re: Pinnacle 14 FPS Test

If you had 3 times as many frames for the first one, it would've been better. But for someone at your level, I suggest staying with 15 fps. When your animation improves and you feel comfortable with 15 fps, you slowly progress to 30 fps. That's what I'm doing right now.

Re: Pinnacle 14 FPS Test

Umm, 12 fps is good, but for any high action sequences it looks choppy.  What I would recommend is 12 fps for slow scenes, to minimize animating time, and 15 fps in higher action scenes.
As for animators, I've heard rumors that Mindgame used 12 fps in stranger than fishing, but I don't actually know.

Re: Pinnacle 14 FPS Test

i say 5 fps

Re: Pinnacle 14 FPS Test

Don't you mean "15"? 5 is waaay too low.

Re: Pinnacle 14 FPS Test

Does anyone know anyone who uses 12 FPS in their films?

I sometimes use it and I believe Just Kidden does too at times.

Re: Pinnacle 14 FPS Test

OK guys a new test is up. Should I use 12 FPS or 15? Or 12 for walking and 15 for talking or some other combination.

The first part is 12fps and the second verson is 15 fps.
