24 FPS or 25 FPS HD Recording For UK Commercial And Promo Shoots

[grantbennett2]

I'm having a Super 8 camera adapted to Max 8 framing; a part of the conversion is the fitting of a 24 or 25 FPS crystal sync.

 

I was wondering if it is still the norm to use 25 FPS based recording systems for commercials, documentaries and music promos in the UK and the rest of

Europe.

 

I have been working as a HD feature dallies colourist for the past few years and of course those transfers were destined for US cutting rooms so I'm a little out of date with local work flows.

 

Many thanks
