Back2Basics #11: Considerations for choosing frame rates

Published 5 years agoon October 11, 2021

Matthias Lebo’s Back2Basics video series will guide you through the basics of underwater videography, equipment and maintenance. Whether you are just starting out or already taking underwater videos, this 12 part series will provide invaluable tips and improve your skills and knowledge.

In a previous “Back2Basics” episode we talked about different frame rates for filming underwater and what frame rates I would use in different scenarios and why. As some of you noticed I didn’t dive deep enough into the considerations that need to be taken when choosing a specific frame rate for filming underwater. Hopefully this add-on clear your questions and help deciding what frame rate to choose next time you’re filming underwater.
