    Hey, y'all! I'm jumping back into run-n-gun freelancing (corporate, commercial, industrial, etc.), and I'm realizing some of my cinema-oriented gear isn't best suited for such environments.

    720pn vs 1080i post slow motion

    Hello there, I've been looking into this for a while and it seems that there is an aversion to shooting 1080/60i and interpreting it as 24p in post to create slow motion. I'm looking for an explanation on why this is a worse way to go over the native capabilities of 720/24pn @60fps. Thanks...

    Field of View and Panning Rates

    Hello, From what I understand, the negative space for still frame photography is much larger than for motion picture film, so I'm assuming that it would also affect the field of view and proper panning rate to avoid strobe. I was wondering if anyone had a mathematical formula for converting...
