I realize that the subject of 24P normal and 24P advanced has been posted since the inception of the 100. When I first read Adam's article, it all seemed pretty clear to me. If you're not going to film, use 24P normal.
I'm not at all sure that's the case today and I do need some clarification on the subject.
Here is what I want to accomplish and within these perimeters, what mode would be best.
I shoot with both the 100 & 100A. I do high end weddings using 3 cameras. For those of you who have ever shot a professional wedding, you know that you only get one shot. No retakes! You don't have a DP and you have virtually no control over anything, including lighting, sound, blocking and most importantly, you shoot from where they tell you to shoot.
I'm shooting in 16:9 using mostly anamorphic lens, and sometimes the squeeze mode on my 100A. While the ceremony is pretty much shooting from a stationary position, the reception is another story with lots of movement, run and gun, crazy lighting, etc...
Now for the question.
If I want the best quality (picture wise) and I don't plan on taking the footage to anything but DVD, what setting should I use? (footnote-I use FCP 4.5 w/G5 with 2:3:3:2 pulldown and 23.98)
Next question.
Can I mix and match 24P (either normal or advanced) with 60I on the same timeline? The reason I ask this question is that with 24P, any movement is really exaggerrated, and we have to do alot of hand held techniques.
I know this is a very long question, but I wanted to include just what I'm doing in order to get the best advise on what to use.
Any help or suggestions on this would be deeply appreciated.
