It seems the DP and the Producer are keen on shooting 24fps, seeking a film look for what it’s worth, so I think I will have to make it work on the post end. My intuition is to keep the sequence at 23.98 as well, but I don’t know if that will get me into trouble…?
Also, any specifics on problems I would have with HDV? I could potentially transcode to ProRes, but with something like 40hrs of footage, little of which may actually be used in the cut, I’m not sure the hard drive space required is worth it. Also, after the transcode, if I ultimately want to re-ingest full-res for the online, from the HDV tape via a capture card, will I have problems connecting the Apple Pro-Res to the HDV tape?
