I will be shooting a dance indoor tonight using my t3i and was wondering what frame rate and shutter speed you recommend. There wont be a lot of light so I am guessing I will be going up to 1600 iso and around f5.6. The issue really is the judder I will be doing a lot of pans around the dancers.


So want to get it to look the best as possible.

Thanks

Also here please check out the cushions, I am shooting at 25p 1080 and 1/50th shutter ISO Auto. The judder which I see is quite bad. I have tried bumping up the shutter but no real difference.

Im assuming you'll be on the glidecam given the title of the thread. We shoot 30fps (1/60 shutter) here in NTSC land to minimize the judder but i don't think there is a PAL equivalent for that frame rate.
Why is your aperture at f5.6? that is too slow for a dark (unlighted) indoor reception and jacking up the high ISO generally translates to more noise. To get the best look possible you either have to light it up or get a faster lens. we use a 14mm 2.8 lens on our T3i on a glidecam HD2000 with the ISO set at 800 and we still have use lights.
