1080i or 24p ?

[ramsaur]

Which is better?

At the moment I own a high def 1080i

I want a camera that shoots 24p. To me the quality looks better than a 1080i or 720p.
Is that true or am I just seeing things?

Any help?

haha. two completely different things. 1080p has to do with resolution. 24p refers to frames per second.

 

[Tom Marshall]

24p refers to your framerate. 1080 or 720 refers to your resolution. 2 completely different things.

ugafan probably beat me to the button by 2 seconds...

 

[ramsaur]

lol okay well I'm not the best with frames and all. All I know is that I've been checking out quality of cameras and there are some that is not my fps and looks better. Like someone let me borrow his camera and it shot 24fps and it looked better quality than the one I own.

Almost identical reversed responses, my brain hurts.

google 24p and read up about it. in short though, 24p is what you want if you're trying to get a filmlike image. 60i is going to look video

Maybe I should have ended my reply with "haha." :thumbsup:

Okay, and I guess the main thing i'm asking is, is a camera that shoots 24p going to look like what you see at the movies; not so much TV like.

 

[Tom Marshall]

They share the same frame rate and have similar motion artifacts. That's about where the similarities end.

go to the dvx or hvx footage section and you can see what 24p footage looks like.

24p gives the cadence of film. A cine-gamma curve mimics more of the color distribution we are used to seeing in film though it is just an approximation. The remaining portion is the depth of field. This is why people on this board spend so much time discussing 35mm DOF adaptors.

yea i've seen it alot and I like it more than what I'm shooting. But I was just curious if that shoots better than what I have.

Personally, I think getting the folding chairs out of your background and using a decent mic would improve your product much more than a new camera. :thumbup:

Is that Como on your JTTE poster? That's awesome! I want Como on my poster.

Oh man, I think I need to buy your DVDs.

 

[ugafan]

I should have bought that one instead of the HV10

 

[HBlack]

Buy a mic, then lights, then a DVX.

 

[DevonKrain]

Well, if it isnt him, you're lucky to get a Como lookalike.


You guys should get together and discuss filmmaking. Como's pretty cool.
