Comment Atomos Ninja and ProRes (Score 1) 130

Get the Atomos Ninja, record it in ProRes. Seriously, this codec is indistinguishable from RAW on an eyeball level. For VHS, it is waaaaay overkill, might as well just use MPEG2 for VHS (just being facetious). And its not like you are going to play the ProRes and re-record it to another ProRes device. That would be dumb. Just copy the file, there will be no loss of bits and bytes and what-not.

Comment Re:60 fps? (Score 1) 157

Perhaps I'm a curmudgeon, but I actually prefer 24 FPS for movies and live action television. There's an otherworldly, dreamy-ish quality to it. I do like to shoot at 60 FPS and then conform it to a 24 fps timeline. But 60 FPS live action looks too much like home video, or old Doctor Who episodes. The first Hobbit movie had that problem @ 48 FPS and other issues. Gandalf's cast resin staff actually LOOKED like cast resin. The second Hobbit movie had less of that, but PJ had to employ various post production trickeries to downplay the video-ish effect (I think I read that somewheres). Animated movies and games would benefit from 60 FPS for sure...

Of course you can't flap your arms and fly to the moon. After a while you'd run out of air to push against.
