![]() ![]() We were already shooting with the shutter at 180. Gee, some rocket scientist there, quick call the Nobel society. Now some know it all editor told the director that using slower shutter speeds would help. It sure looks odd when someone fires and you can see the recoil but no spark. Especially in a shot where the actors fires multiples shots, the chances of getting them all on the film are reduced even further the more shots are fired. Even if one were to do 10 takes of each shot there is no guaranty that it would work for all gun shots. Even though the gun guys are using special gunpowder mixes to cause longer duration flashes, handgun flashes often happen while the shutter is closed. Machine guns and shot guns are usually all right because they have a longer lasting flash. Of course we all understand why, knew about this problem beforehand, but also realize we are pretty much powerless to do much about it. In the recent action footage I did, the director was sometime disappointed because not all the gun flashes show up on the film. Some of you have probably done a lot more gun shots than I (on film that is), hence the reason for this post.
