learjet76 Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 What can I expect quality wise, if I use 18 FPS VS. 24 FPS and 40 ASA film? (Ecthachrome) I am shooting in daylight from another moving vehicle if that makes a difference any help would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Wells Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I always use 25 or 25 fps. If you are shooting from a moving car then a faster frame rate will certainly help steadiness. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member John Sprung Posted August 19, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted August 19, 2004 What can I expect quality wise, if I use 18 FPS VS. 24 FPS In terms of exposure, DOF, etc. it won't change much. The biggest consideration is whether you plan to blow this up for projection in a larger format, or telecine it. In those cases, 24 has a big advantage over the oddball 18, which is only supported by S-8 projection. Step printing up from 18 to 24, 25, or 30 will give you jerky motion. -- J.S.

Premium Member John Pytlak RIP Posted August 19, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted August 19, 2004 Worldwide, theatres normally project sound films at at 24fps. 25fps is sometimes used for television productions intended for 50Hz television systems (e.g., PAL). 30fps (29.97) is sometimes used for productions intended for 60Hz television systems (e.g., NTSC). 18fps home movies are just that.

I'm considering shooting 18fps due to my miniscule budget. Thanks, -steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulgencio Martinez Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Shoot 24. your economical cost wont be very different. 18fps telecine looks horrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
