Response to Cannon XL1 Filming Options

from Jim Parriott (escribador@aol.com)
Actually... a lot of what Johnny said was right -- at that particular seminar, talking to those particular people.

Tape to film transfer is an evolving process, and labs have their own specific things that they prefer. Sony prefers that you shoot at 60 fields, because they have a patented process that uses all fields to help them smooth the motion. They hate present progressive scan on consumer/pro-sumer cameras. They also prefer that you don't use 16:9 at this time, although, as the chips change, they will change. Their results are really remarkable. This in no way denigrates what filmteam in Austin is doing. They have their own system and preferences. My point: talk to your lab and test before shooting.
