Covering a live event with both Hmc and HVX

[ronin99]

I am shooting a wedding and I would like 24p and smooth slow motion.
I qouls like to shoot with just 2 hmc's but I'm thinking about adding a HVX into the mix. From my experience, I prefer the hvx for slow motion.


As I see it, I shoot the HMC's in 24p, and shoot the HVX 48fps at certain times when I know I want slow motion. Is this the best option? I believe if I shot just hmc's, I would have to shoot 60p for slow motion, and therefore lose the 24p and its low light benifits.

When it comes to Windows workflow how would you mix the DVCpro footage into the AVCHD timeline? Will the quality of the footage from the differnt cameras look drastically differnt?

If you use cineform, you can just make all files 720p in hd-link, and everything will be the same look and feel...for the most part.

The HMC doesn't really loose it's low-light advantage like the HVX does... I think that the 60p looks pretty much the same as the 24p... unlike the HVX which needs more light for the slow-mo. I would totally prefer to shoot with the 150's for a wedding. Having to offload P2 during a service would be tough... Also if you have the original HVX it won't be nearly as good in low-light to begin with.
