When you shot at all those different locations did you get release for them?

Adjusting shutter speed can give your video a unique look, but how it looks is dependent on a number of factors, especially light. So there isn't really one shutter speed that's right for music videos per se. The general rule of thumb is that to achieve a smooth film-like look, shutter speed should be double what your frame rate is. So if you're shooting at 24 frames a second, then the shutter speed would be 1/48 (or 1/50 if your camera doesn't allow for 48), and if you are shooting 30 frames per second , then the shutter speed would be 1/60. You can also do some tests, trying out different shutter speeds and see what looks best. Hope this helps!

Great info! Very helpful! I shoot with a Sony Z1U. I noticed your shutter speed with 1/30. I never shot 1/30 yet. Is 1/30 better for music videos?
