Hi folks, my name's Richie... I'm entering the 48 Hour Film Project this weekend and I need some advise. I plan on shooting this project on an HVX with a 35mm adapter... I want to shoot it on 720p60 at 24fps but the event only supports formats of DV NTSC at 29.97 with a preference on Mini DV tape... i realize i have to down rez but I want the origianl project in HD for later purposes...i don't have a KONA AJA or any other gear so i'm only using my G5 with FCP 6. Any advise on getting the proper settings ? i figure i'm going to need to downscale it to fit 4:3 aswell... i also figure printing to a mini DV tape will give me the best quality possible but i'm not sure on the best way to go about it... please any help would be appreciated, the event starts this friday and I'd like to run some test prior to work out any kinks. Thanks again.

Well, I would shoot the project in 720p at 24 frames (can't have 60 if your doing 24 - one or the other). And import into FCP, but change your timeline settings. You can set the project to a SD NTSC setup and drag the HD footage in and it should just give you black bars. Then edit and export.

As far as getting it onto a MiniDV, you should be able to playback through the firewire. Although, proper testing should be done - again - before hand.

Hope some of this was helpful and best of luck!!
