Most video is shot at 60 interlaced frames per second.
It looks terrible. I hate that look. Nothing I shoot will be presented in that form ever again. (Well, not narrative film, anyway. The video look has its place.)
We’ll be shooting The Last Regret on a Panasonic DVX100A. It records in NTSC DV, which is 60 interlaced frames per second. However, it can shoot in 24p 2:3:3:2 Advanced, which is a way of storing 24 frames per second data on DV. It takes some additional post-processing work, and the tapes can’t be played back straight to a monitor without first converting the footage, but it allows you to perform the edit directly in 24p without any further hassle.
Oh the joy!
