Daniel.85 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Does anyone have any recommendations on a video camera they have used that did well while filming hot steel? Some cameras seem to get real washed out from the intense IR and light emitted, I want to be able to show the metal squish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinobi Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 im surprised nobody has chimed in on this one yet, my initial thought was to buy a standalone lense filter from a camera shop for as small a lense as you can find (assuming you are using a small point and shoot, or other camera with a relatively small lense) and set it up on some kind of third hand stand so your camera will be 'looking' through it. however filters of that type are considerably more expensive than i remembered, making it less appetizing an option. what kind of camera are you running right now Dan? do you have the option to screw with the white balance and ISO settings to try and tune your footage? might be worth checking with Brian Brazeal and Alec.S, if memory serves the videos they have shared seem to have good definition of hot metal and background without one clobbering the other for exposure.
