Hello Everyone,(posted 9019 days ago)I am a filmmaker who has completed my first feature on 16mm last year. I am about to launch a new documentary project and after seeing the results of celebration, idiots, etc, I am convinced that my new film will be shot on DV.
As most of the filmming will be done in London and Hong Kong (both of which I believe uses PAL system), and what I have been kinda hearing from people onthis bulletin board about PAL DV's better 35mm transfer, I am considering shooting on DV PAL.
But here are the questions:
1. Where can I get a PAL DV in the US or on the web? 2. Any recommendation on which product model (does it matter whether it is NTSC or PAL)? 3. If I were to eventually transfer everything on a NLE system, does it matter which system (pal or Ntsc) do I use? Do I need a PAL monitor? Please advice. 4. I have heard about this, but what is the reason that PAL transfers to 35mm is better than NTSC. Please explain. 5. With a PAL DV, what other problems will I encounter if I were to do most of the post-producion in the United States.
Thanks in advance for whatever advice you can give.
Lawrence
