Performing Wotagei

Video

Camera settings are important when recording Wotagei, as they change how long the streaks of light are. The most commonly changed settings are:

  • Frame Rate: Usually set and left at 24 fps. Anything faster and streaks won’t form at all. Anything slower and the video looks choppy.
  • Shutter Speed: Usually set to 1/25, depending on lighting conditions. This has become the agreed standard when recording wotagei. If you increase this, the streaks of light get longer.
  • ISO: Changes how bright the shot is. It usually sits around 800, but is adjusted depending on the lighting conditions. If it is too dim ISO is increased.
  • F-Stop: Left as low as possible, as long as you stay in focus in the shot.
