Shooting for TV/WEB

Hello,

I own a DVX100A and usually shoot 24pa for most of my project with the hope to convert to film, eventually. I'm in the development phase of a project that will be shown on TV, DVD and Web only, so I was wondering if I should change my shooting method. Should I shoot in 30i, 60i, etc? Does it make a difference?

Thanks guys!
 
Web does not like interlaced. TV does not like luminance over 100 IRE.

What exactly are you shooting? I would say the genre and style of shoot should dictate the frame rate you choose.

Hey,

I'm shooting footage I intend to convert to cartoon-ish footage using ToonIt. It's going to be a comedy series of short episodes poking fun at pop culture. I'd like to be able to post them on youtube, my site, and even put on dvd for people to watch on TV.

Thanks!

So, if I shoot progressive and keep my luminance 100 IRE or below I'll be fine? When does one want to shoot interlaced?
What is IRE and how do you determine it?

Thanks!

IRE is the 'broadcast' standard measurement of video amplitude. The range is from -40 to 100, where the TV station wants video that falls between 0 and 100, or 7.5 and 100 IRE...

If you are thinking about sending material to a broadcaster, you need to get equipment, or have someone who has equipment to monitor the signal and make sure it matchs the broadcaster's spec.

Since I never think of broadcasting... I never worry about being either NTSC safe, or what the IRE levels are. If I become famous... I'll let archivists worry about cleaning up my material for broadcast... but by then... it really won't matter, as everyone will be using digital anyway...

Oh, and how to determine 100 IRE on the DVX100... enable the zebras on your camera, and where the zebra pattern shows up is near or over 100 IRE...
 
Thanks for the very useful info J1Clark! Much appreciated!!!
