How to? | slow-motion close ups.

[Wit]

I juts watched this video and I loved the shots where the ingredients are filmed really close up like on 0:29. This gives me an idea for a video I'm about to shoot. But is my camera kit suitable (lens) and what will the workflow be?

 

- I'm filming with a panasonic GH3 with the kit lens  12-35 mm. Lens suitable?

- I can choose a higher framerate like 50

- slow in post.

- What are the things to think about when staging the scene?

They probably did the wide shot first and then the close-ups. For those close-ups they probably used something a lot higher than 50fps, but you could always try with the ingredients you want/need and test to slow it down on the edit.

Thanxs. I don't wanna do the wides - my question is about the close shots.

1. Try using a faster lens (f1.8 and faster). Use very high shutter speed (1/2500 and above). 3. Try and use a background which does not have much detail, and preferably mostly out of focus. 4. Try and have as much light falling on the subject, as possible.
