Hey

I'm shooting some mountain bike stuff on Saturday. Got a good idea of what I need to do the only thing I'm unsure on is my shutter speed and frame rate.

Basically seeing as I'm shooting action I'd like the option to use Twixtor to slow down footage. For this reason I'm going to shoot 720p 60FPS. I know generally they say double the fps with your shutter but is this stil the case for action when I wanna slow it down?

I want to use settings which will work for normal speed but having the option to slow it down if I wanted.

I'm going to shoot 24fps 1080 for when I'm interviewing the riders.

Cheers.
 
I don't think you'll notice anything out of the ordinary with 1/50th and above but don't take my word for it...I'm just going on experience ;)

Depending on your body, you may get dramatic rolling shutter with faster speeds.

You're right to go for at least 60fps when using twixtor.
