Editing a feature film

[JPenna]

Well, I just got a gig editing my first feature film Everything I've edited so far have been either broadcast commercials or short films -- nothing nearly as long as this is gonna be.

It was shot on the GY-100 in 720/24p. There's about 20 hours of footage.

So, here are a few questions:

How much storage space will I need? I know a deal where I can get a 2TB Lacie for $500, but will 2TB be enough?

How should I capture the footage?

It was shot onto HDV tapes and I'm probably gonna be renting a deck or borrowing one from a friend. Is it worth capturing to an offline format first?

ProRes or MPEG?

Now I just have to find a JVC BR50 deck or one of the GY-HD series cameras for rent in Boston, lol.
