Hi all thanks for looking in. I wanted to get some input on what is the preferred format for TV (USA) ? I did some digging and the most intelligent post I found was from J.Simon. Where he went on to discuss about 30 60 and 24 ultimately stating that to shoot as close to what you are going to output to. Hence my question.
I have a Producer who wants to shoot a series. Which will be either for DVD or TV release. Wanting to be safe, what format should I have my camera shooting in? I was thinking HD 1080 16:9 60i. I would think this would give me the best latteral in editing. I selected that format, because I use Canons and my format choices are 30i 60i 24p... and 4:3 went out with the brief case cell phones.
Your thoughts and why please?
Regards
