Re: [Avid-L2] 29.97 and HD / RANT

I ask again: If the client says 29.97i is the deliverable (and international or web is not a consideration), why the heck should production shoot anything else???
 
This is not a rhetorical question.

Hi Patrick, I happened to deliver a show shot in Italy to PBS in january. Shooting was at 25p for technical reasons: electric lights working on 50 Hz power do flicker when shot at anything but true 24, 25 or 50 fps, regardless of interlaced/progressive. Delivery was at 30i, or 29.976 if that's the real naming or frame rate (I did not took care of mastering). I'm not a camera expert, but I guess that the same flicker applies to 60 Hz lights shot at 25 fps, so you may find yourself in my shoes one day, delivering a US shot show to a european broadcaster... Anyway, since delivery was 30ish fps I asked the DP to shoot at 30ish fps and this out of control flicker is why he didn't.

Regards, Luca
