Frame rate for music video

[smelni]

I am shooting a music vid tomorrow at 720P - I was gonna shoot 24P but an editor said to shoot 30P - he said that is easier to work with for music videos.

Anyone know which would be better to shoot at?

30P - after all it is a music VIDEO not a music FILM. However, you could use 24P for special effects.

very funny - thanks - that makes sense.

I think it depends more on the subject of the video. I shot my last video at 24p, and I'm very happy with the footage

Ironically, the great majority of music videos made in the last 15 years have all been shot on film. I think 24fps would be more than appropriate for a professional looking music video.

I also think that music videos are great for experimentation. I'm doing one in April and I plan on really messing with the shutter and the frame rates of the video.. as well as the audio. I'm really looking forward to the experiement.
