Mike,
Time lapse footage or non standard frame rate footage is planned for and done in PRODUCTION, not post!
If you must try to salvage something in post, try the “Twixtor” plug in.
Other than that, tell your client that there’s a wonderful new filter called “Reshoot”. It works quite well!

Blu ray. Much more dependable than a computer playing a file.

Thanks for the info, gentlemen.
No raid here. These are for ancient G5’s that are one step away from the recycle bin, yet still have some useful life in them for “light weight” editing.
As I research this, I find that every brand has it’s fans, detractors, and stories to tell.

Another issue with “reflect media” is if your subject is wearing eyeglasses or has shiny jewelry on.
This “direct reflection” can result in “holes” in your keys where you may not want them. (Great for horror pix is you want a “man with no eyes” effect!)Definitely test, test, test.

Avid. Version 3.5 on a Mac Quadra 800.
FCP. Version 1.0, but not seriously until 4.5

Scott has offered some very good advice.
My suggestion is that you either obtain 100% sponsorship in advance (and this discussion is over) or don’t shoot ANYTHING until you have a contract in place for broadcast. As Scott pointed out, so many of the answers to your questions depend on external parties, that you can’t possibly anticipate everything.
To repeat: 100% sponsorship, and logos go everywhere. No deal in place, your ONLY safe bet is to exclude ANY logos whatsoever.
Getting a “greenlight” for production often depends on pursuing BOTH sponsorship and a broadcast deal, and you may get a tenative “go ahead” contingent on sponsorship… which can help answer some of your questions.
Bottom line… this is why you see so much “blurring” on TV. Nobody ever get’s everything wrapped up neatly in advance.
Good luck.

These days networks execs EXPECT you to walk in with a “sizzle reel”. It’s almost an unwritten rule.

For the record, I drive a Prius… AND a Lexus! You see, I’m sympathetic to BOTH ends of the spectrum!
I would say the cost differential between HD and SD, especially if you’re delivering FILE based and NOT tape based, has come down to an almost insignificant number. Therefore, there’s little reason NOT to use HD. If cost is an object, get a consumer HD camera. You’re still going to get a better image from a cheap, consumer HD camera than a decent SD pro camera. That’s just physics, not economics.
