Helo! I got a video assignment need to be done. I need some advice/suggestion from you guys. By using what materials to make an object spins?

for e.g

Duration 3sec-4sec

Professionally, it would be achieved with the object attached to a speed controlled motorised turntable. You can also achieve the similar effect by attaching your object to a fluid head (e.g. on a tripod) and manually rotate the object. If your clip duration is short (12 frames or 1sec) you might be able to get away with the manual movement. Any longer and you might want to practice your movements till you get a really smooth fluid move, or else it's just gonna look amateurish.

plenty of cheap solutions. Lazy susans, TV swing platform, standing exercise twister, microwave oven wheeled ring...exhausting just to list them.

i dunno if this is right (i would test it)

try shooting at higher FPS like 60-75 with an equally hight shutter speed to get smooth slow mo when played back.

carefully hung fishing wire might be useful too

or u could get a really power animator and 3d model the whole thing. hehe

Just curious about what videocam you are using that can shoot at 75fps?

Well TS didn't mention budget

but RED can and 7D also can (to 50 FPS for 7D)

actually i think the 7D will give u a really nice look on this type of product shot

TS: if u go to art friend at bras basah they have little lazy susans for stuff like jewellery which you might find helpful.
