HMC150.
Shot in Scene File 1, PH 720p30.
Transcoded to ProRes HQ; exported through FCP QT Conversion to H264.
Color correction in FCP.

We didn't bring in any lights - just used what was in the people's apartments. Two person crew - camera & sound.

These are three people from the feature documentary about life in old age that we're shooting currently (in 7th week of production: http://lifeswaltz.blogspot.com). This was made for Project Direct 2009, so it contains a red telephone and a couple of other chosen required objects.

Enjoy!

Why did you shoot in 30p instead of 24p?

Are you planning on exhibiting it on film in theaters? or just digitally?

 

[jscheib]

We are shooting and shot in 30p because it's a documentary, and we want for a poppier/livelier feel as opposed to a more filmic/dramatic 24p feel.

I really wonder why so many people actually shoot in 24p or WANT to shoot in 24p. In my opinion 24p is a relict from the past and it should be abandoned like interlaced recording.

I don't know... for the most part 24p looks like utter shyte to me but hey!

That's just my 100% correct opinion! :-Laugh(DBG)-1


I actually think 24p does have it's place but I really like 30p much better.

The whole frame rate thing is indeed a relic and will be supplanted and surpassed.

I even started a lively thread about it not too long ago.

Do a search and you can see how hot the topic was/is!

:thumbup: Actually this frame rate has been chosen because it was the lowest rate that would still give a sense of motion. Many people think film look has got something to do with 24p.

For the most part.

We have beaten this horse to death and then into a fine smear suitable for the highest quality bagel. :grin:

But it is a very interesting subject and only time will tell what the market will bare.
