Hi all,
I have a few questions & doubts that I hope can be answered in this forum. Now I've read numerous threads here that while shooting 25p (as my DVX shoots PAL), the camera pans from right to left, or left to right or up & down should be SLOW & smooth because if the pans are too fast then the images will tend to strobe. Compare to shooting 50i, pans can be faster, yet there will not be as much strobing as shooting in 25p. I always wondered why this is so.
For example if you go to : http://movies.go.com/newandupcoming & view the Mission Impossible III trailers, most of the camera movements are very fast & action-packed to the theme of the movie. Most of the camera dollies, pans, etc are really fast & yet those images do not show any strobing or jerkiness. From what I know, they used Panavision 35mm Film cameras to shoot the movie.
So my question is : If my DVX can record 25p & the Panavison Film camera also records in 24p, how come my DVX images strobes when I do medium-to-fast pans, while the Panavision Film cameras can also do such fast pans & still the images can hold up nicely?
Is it a limitation of Standard Def. Digital Video, or the CCD size (1/3") of the DVX, or the fact that it's recorded to miniDV tape? I've been put off with recording 25p with my camera for weddings mainly because of keeping the pans smooth, slow auto focus & not very good low-light sensitivity shooting compared to interlaced.
I would also like to know how much does the Genesis® Digital Camera System from Panavision cost? Just curious as to it's price. Thanks in advance to the experts who can provide some answers.
