720pn24 is native.
it is 23.98 frames per second.
the other has the “look” of 24p, but it is still 29.97
use 720pn24, i think, when you are going back to film, or what to do slow motion. i “think” the slow mo option turns off, unless your in 720pn24 mode. I may be wrong.
if you arent doing slow motion (why use that camera, lol) and shoot it 29.97 and keep it in videoland forever

i jsut say shoot it off the tv because its the simplest way to do it. i have an old 20 year tv, and so do a lot of thrift stores. it’ll look the most authentic.
least thats’s me. i won the 48 hour film project because instead of doing complicated FCP moves on photos, ijust shot them off of the computer screen. everyone wanted to know why the moves were so camera-like. i jsut couldnt tell them the truth, haha!

what I would recomend doing is go crazy. Make an insane, edited to insanity version of the show. see how fast you can cut stuff, see where you can go. and do NOT think of ever showing anyone this. this is for you, because odds are, 90% of it won’t work. but you tried. and the 10% of “special sauce” you just found will come in handy.
as for shooting, tis the army. get handheld. go out on location., heck, explosions are good. and so is comedy. everyone likes to laugh, and its usually the normal funny stuff that everyone can identify with it.
also, be original. it’s what made MTV what mtv was, and has created what mtv is, a big boring pile of 16 year old girls crying over a new lexus. don’t copy anyone, but take away pieces that you like from other things,a nd incorporate it in.
