I shoot a lot of sports video. Whether it be for a recruiting video or a season documentary, I see lots of action. When putting these films together, I want/need to use a lot of slow motion.
As I'm shooting live action, I never know what will be worthy of receiving the slow motion attention once I begin to piece things together in the editing room. A player may have a horrible at bat or may send one over the left field wall. If he jacks one, I wanna be able to capture it in slow motion, but, want the feel of the 24p in the overall production. Obviously, shooting that at bat at 60i is what I need in order to have the best result when getting back to my computer and Vegas. However, I never know what's going to happen. No "do-overs" in live action.
My question is this - should I shoot EVERYTHING at 60i, short of a player interview or stuff outside of the lines, and will I get the same look on the non-slo-mo stuff when working on a 24p timeline, even if I don't choose to make some of the footage slow motion (40%)? Or, will it make my video look like I've used two different cameras?
Am I making sense here? Basically, I want the ability to present any live action footage as the best possible slow motion quality. However, I won't slow ALL of it down, and I don't want to give up the 24p feel.
Help a rookie out.
