I'm hoping to film cars passing by at an extremely slow shutter speed to create results you could expect to achieve with stills photography with a shutter speed of 5-10 seconds or slower. Can you recreate this kind of look with video at all? We want to achieve the look of the car headlights rushing past as long beams of light.
Please see the attached link as a guide to what I'm after:
The only way you can realistically achieve this sort of effect without digital manipulation is with a time-lapse sequence. Probably the tool best suited for that sort of job is not a video camera, but a digital still camera hooked up to a computer. You set all the aperture/shutter speed adjustments, then program the camera to take one picture every ten seconds, say (many still cameras come with software that has time lapse capabilities). What you'll wind up with is video of traffic moving in very fast motion, but you'll get the long light trails.
