Shutter Effect

[derwahredude]

I was wondering how the shutter effect like in "Saving Private Ryan" could be achieved. They used a Shutter Speed like 1/50, very fast, less motion blur. The same settings in maya made nothing.

Has anybody an idea ?

Wouldn't this be a lot easier done when you composite the scene than within maya?

in what unit is that 1/50 shuttertime is expressed in?

I mean maya shutter time is expressed in the angle of the shutter. Id doubt the angle is 1/50 because that would make no sense whatsoever. because that would mean each frame was exposed for 2 microseconds. (if it was this low there would be no point in putting any motion blur on whatsoever, just stupid computation it woyuld hardy impact any reasonablyle motion at all).

Illustrative edity:[I mena at this speed a airplane traveling mach 1 would roughly shift a half millimeter. so youd need HUGE screenreses and huge angle velocities compared to the camera to se anything. At bet youd only ever notice this in 1 ore two frames in the entire shot.]

Now its probably either a angle of 172.8 if you asume it was 1/50th of a second (wich isnt all thhat short for a normal cg setup) or 0.8 milliseconds if you asume 1/50 th revolutions wich would be microseconds.

I really bet you could fake the effect you're talking about fine with some composting. Maybe not, who knows

Most of the time you can. Especialy if the blur is minimal.

I found out, that they used a shutter angle of 45 degrees for "Saving Private Ryan" and for the film development they used a technique called "Bleach Bypass" You already can do this in post. But the thing is: when you render with motionblur and set the shutter to 45 degrees, there is almost no blur, like you wrote, but the effect still isn
