im bout to shoot a movie with fight scenes that i want some shots in slow motion. but not the whole fight. i was gonna shoot 60i and convert to 24p and play at 40% or somethin like that.

but ive been hearing alot about time remaping lately and it seems to be a better way to go. just shoot 24p and remap in post.

whats yalls opinion? 60i or 24p time remap?
 
tell me, if i shot the hole fight in 60i and then added it to a 24p timeline, wouldnt the hole fight run in slow motion? what im sayin is doesnt the act of turning 60i into 24p automaticly make it slow motion(not total slow motion, but slightly slow motion) becuz u are playin it back at 40% of wat it was shot at?

for example if i shot a hole movie in 60i then put into 24p timeline, the hole movie would run in slow motion. is that correct?
 
No, that's not correct. There are a number of ways to convert 60i to 24p. The most common converts but the speed does not change. Unless you are using Vegas, it's not just as simple as dropping a 60i clip on a 24p timeline.

Less common, but effective for slow motion is to run 60i at 40% speed in a 24p timeline. Even less common if do deinterlace 60i to 30p, then slow down to 24p. A very subtle slow mo effect.

For best quality, shoot the whole fight at 24p, and only shoot the slow mo shots at 60i. That way, you don't compromise the quality of the whole thing just for a few shots. Also, change the shutter speed to 1/120 for the slow mo shots. You'll need to plan, and determine which shots will be slow mo in advance, to pull this off.
