K&F ND Filters from this video: amzn.to/4aS7P2o

In this video, I explore how to achieve cinematic motion blur when shooting 24fps video on the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. I discuss the importance of using the right shutter speed according to the 180-degree shutter rule and how to overcome overexposure issues by using ND (Neutral Density) filters.

I demonstrate the difference between footage shot with a fast shutter speed and one shot with a slower shutter speed of 1/50th of a second, which adheres to the 180-degree shutter rule for 24fps video.

I also showcase my K&F ND filters, which are an affordable alternative to the official DJI filters, and explain how to use them effectively in different lighting conditions.

Additionally, I briefly touch on the creative possibilities of deviating from the 180-degree shutter rule to achieve different artistic effects and discuss the applicability of the rule to other frame rates like 30fps and 60fps.

    Why are people so stupid, and I don’t understand that 24 frames was relevant for film projectors with mechanical frame changing. Modern display media have 50, 60, 100 frames, which is in no way a multiple of 24 frames, which means they undergo transformations. And motion blur doesn’t save you from jerky pictures!
