Yea, lots of words, but here is a quick test of 60P footage dropped into a 24P timeline and dropped to 40% speed. Oh and some color correction from the superflat picture style in Sony Vegas 9.

I AGREE
 
I personally cant stand to soot super flat as Mr. Bloom suggests. I find it to hard to pull out the colors and make them pop in Vegas.
 
I'd like to contribute.

This was shot with a semi-flat setting, which I prefer when shooting ANYTHING that has people in it. Ignore the over-use of color grading, it's supposed to pop and be extremely stylized for his small promo. But what should be taken out of this comparison is that you still have much flexibility while shooting flat vs SUPER flat.

Much detail is still retained on his skin, and not yet "pastel" looking. I can provide my settings if you guys would like to experiment for yourselves.

1280x720, 60fps, f16, ISO 200.... yep, bad moire (see collar). But this shot looks AMAZING in the edit... so who cares about the imperfections, go shoot :P

If you shoot 60 and want the footage to be in slo-mo, just change the interpretation of the footage from 60 fps to 24 fps (or whatever the rate of your project). In premiere, for instance, you click on the shot in the bin and "interpret footage", change to desired framerate.

Doing a speed change will introduce strobing, otherwise, unless you use twixtor. Your footage seems to have a bit of that.

I like the tonality of this shot, but the out of focus is much to strong for me.
I don't like that his head goes out of focus so fast.

Also it is more difficult to tell skin tonality with black people. That same shot might look different on a caucasian.

You're right - it is a bit different with caucasians - what's interesting is that with the current settings I'm using, saturation is dropped a bit, and actual tonal levels are preserved quite well, and very easy to bring back in post. I experimented with the Cine super flat setting I found online when I first started shooting with the 7D, but I spent way too much time in post trying to bring the correct color back from asian/caucasion people. A neutral/semi-flat setting is more versatile in retaining detail and providing the most flexibility in post (with color) vs superflat, just my opinion ofcourse :)
