Slow Motion test

Slow Motion test

Above is a slow motion test I have produced using Photoshop and after effects.  The effect was originally produced using photoshop and gif animation similar to my stop motion test however due to file size I had to upload the test as an MP4 for youtube. My main inspiration for this effect was the music video Aphex Twin windowlicker which employs the use of slow motion effects to create a distorted yet hypnotic mood. This is something that I would like to use and reflect in my music video by using slow motion in certain scenes such as some of the scenes concerning the robot and scenes which feature normal people transform into the "infected" after being exposed to the virus. Hopefully I should be able to create a similar hypnotic/distorted feeling featured in windowlicker. To create the effect I got a friend to take pictures of me at 60 frames per second, I then took them to Photoshop and then created a gif. After that I imported to the gif to After effects and exported it to youtube. So far I believe the effect works very well in creating a sense of distortion, however it took a long time to create the effect just to get around 1o seconds of slow motion footage. I am currently investigating away to create a similar effect in a much more time efficient way which retains the quality.

Here is a video below which may possibly offer such an alternative
