Please have a look at my edit and tell me what you think. I like most people hate to see edits with lots of twixtor that just warps all the time. I have tried to make sure that there is as little warping as possible in the images to give a smoother look. I love seeing shots in super slow mo but I lack the budget to hire out something like a phantom HD so this is my humble attempt, Hope you enjoy!

 
sorry to be this guy but in my personal opinion, the use of twixtor was very poorly executed. Maybe think about what you want to use twixtor on, while you are shooting, and pick something that would be interesting to shoot, and would look cool in super slow motion. Some guy flailing upside down is quite possibly the most boring thing i could think of to make slow motion.

You obviously understand how to use twixtor to its fullest advantage, seeing as there wasn't much distortion when you slowed down, but really think about finding something that is really interesting.

sorry if this sounds harsh.

 
Na thats fine, its your opinion and all feedback is useful. I do disagree with you though as I thought some of the shots were interesting. What is so different from my shots in slow motion to skiing shots in slow motion. Both are, as you said, someone falling upside down.

When you say poorly executed do you mean what twixtor was used on or the way I used it on the footage?

What do you recommend that you think would look good in slow motion thats not someone falling or doing a trick?
 
I thought that was amazingly done twixtor, any tips on the settings? mine always distorts a lot.

thanks
 
Thanks, glad you liked it!

I didn't play around too much with the settings, but what I did do was start off by twixtoring the whole part of the clip that I though might look good, then I watch that back to see where it distorted then redid the clip so that only the smooth part was slowed down.

Also some good things to remember: shoot in 60fps (obvious), shoot with a high shutter speed, try to minimise the amount of stuff going on behind the subject of the slow mo (e.g. have the sky behind them or something with a fairly consistent colour and texture), also fast moving things are likely to warp (e.g. someone arm or hand being moved quickly).

Hope that helps.
