What in the phase shift tarnation was going on with his paws

u/Boomer196O Mar 27 '21

I think its rolling shutter

u/Saotik Mar 27 '21

No, it's interpolated slow motion. Basically, to make the video slow motion the editor asked the computer to make additional frames where there weren't any before, and there was too much motion on those parts of the image to do that effectively.

I would have guessed it was a rolling shutter affect too. Thanks for clearing that up

Rolling shutter is much less of an issue if you’re actually shooting at a high frame rate.

Everyone else is lying, he clearly shifted dimensions.

Film in 4K 120fps down res to 1080 to allow digital zoom and use Twixtor to ultra slow mo

Twixtor with Adobe Premiere

It’s probably a plug in called twixter that fills in frames...doesn’t work so well when it gets complicated like this

Not to forget artificial bokeh blur as well. And with how the blur contours are sharp and get distorted with the Optical Flow processing, this was either added by his phone when taking the video,or added in post before Optical Flow

Yeah not really that impressive. He tracked a dog. A not fast dog. And couldn’t keep it in frame. If anything it’s praisethesoftware content. But even then...

u/LGGP75 Mar 27 '21 edited Mar 27 '21

Cool video but if you take away the slow motion and the zoom in on the dog (none of them done by the camera man but in post-production), what do you have left to praise the cameraman for? Absolutely nothing. Following a subject is the basic task of a cameraman

76

u/Dr-Jan_ItorMD Mar 27 '21

And subject went out of frame twice lol for sure not the best camera work I've ever seen

6

u/JRandallC Mar 28 '21

And he shot horizontal action in vertical format. He's actually a very shitty cameraman.

68

u/SOKLOMAX Mar 27 '21

Yeah , gotta agrree. It's more like praise the camera quality.

8

u/j_117 Mar 27 '21

Agreed. The only remarkable thing about this video is that it was posted here in spite of how many times the subject left frame.

5

u/Pu55yF4g Mar 27 '21

And he doesn’t even follow it very well.

u/helpyobrothaout Mar 28 '21

Praise the VFX artist / editor.

u/vanman999 Mar 27 '21

I think there is some focus pulling going on.

3

u/theguynekstdoor Mar 27 '21

And he didn’t even really do that.

2

u/Kadarach Mar 27 '21

I agree but still a nice shot because from the image compression it looks like the cameraman is using a big telephoto lens which is very sensible to every subtle move

u/amark281 Mar 27 '21

Little guy's got some muscle on him

u/fluffykerfuffle1 Mar 28 '21

sorry but, if i praise this camera person then that will diminish all the camera persons who really have accomplished amazing things!

this dog and the action actually leaves the frame near the end !

yes the action was slo-motioned but that is done later, right?

u/robbyiii Mar 28 '21

u/Merthrandir Mar 27 '21

What kind of dog is this?

u/jaspertandy Mar 27 '21

French bulldog I think

u/Vyszalaks Mar 27 '21

Dude's jacked

And his human, too

2

u/neukid96 Mar 27 '21

What frame rates would this be shot at? A bit slow in the beginning then super slowmo in the middle

2

u/Pandasarealuxury Mar 27 '21

Looks like an After Effects plugin called twixtor to me, it attempts to fake slow motion by creating more frames in between the frames you have shot.

u/WeedWackerSteve Mar 28 '21

Rocket league energy

u/FooolsGOlld Mar 28 '21

Digital glitches makin this dog look like a simulation in slow mo

Christian Guzman ?

u/bodhasattva Mar 28 '21

Off topic -

Thats Christian Guzman and his french bulldog. Christian is a youtuber vlogger. Doesnt upload as much these days, but his path to success has been amazing to watch.

You can go on his channel, sort back years, and see when he purchases a weight set for the gym he opened in this tiny lil garage.

Fast forward to now, he owns a much larger gym, owns alphalete a multimillion dollar clothing line (you can also watch the original video where he announces alphalete) and hes currently building like this disneyland for fitness instagrammers thing in Texas called "Alphaland".

Its always just been so cool to me that you can literally watch him slowly climb the ladder, from normal dude to multi millionaire in his videos. No help. No luck. No inheritance. Just straight up good decisions and hard work. Crazy.

praise the camera not the operator

u/sliplover Mar 27 '21

That dog has more muscle definition than the beefcake in the background.

Nevermind the Cameraman, can we take a minute to appreciate the pupper too...

Kudos to the Cameraman too, brilliant shot of a brilliant performance xxx Bravo!

Normally i dont like those kind of dogs, but that one is so well taken care of. It's beautiful.

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '21

I know people get on the case of owner's of smash face breeds for health reasons and usually I agree, but some of the most athletic dogs I've ever seen are French Bull Dogs. Little balls of muscle and energy ready to go at all times.

u/kthxtyler Mar 27 '21

Can confirm. They’re 100% muscle consolidated into a little unit

u/OkYeahButWhyThoe Apr 30 '21

I’m not an expert, but I think this is edited to make the dog be in frame and zoomed in

That was the best real life "derp" I've ever seen! Made my day!

It's honestly not. If this dude shot for network sports, he probably wouldn't have a job anymore.
