I am working for a show that will end up broadcasting all of its sports material at 720p. I have recently learned that that means they broadcast at 720p 60p since 60p is the best for motion rendition of sports programing.
That being said we need to shoot certain B-Roll footage of interviews with small AVCHD cameras that only shoot in 1920x1080 in 24p, 30p or 60i.
A producer instructed me to be shooting in 30p but i do not believed this to be the correct way to shoot material for this show. I believe we should be shooting in 60i, even though the end result will be a progressive broadcast. The problem is that the 30p material will not have the smooth motion perception that 60i would have. 30p would not show fast moving objects as well as 60i would. 30p aesthetically would seem wrong for this show as it would be almost a variant of "film like" look. A miss match from the other material in the show being video like. THe majority of the show is shot at 720p6op native. Now since we don't have the option for acquisition at 60p for our B-roll material we should shoot 1080i 60i and render interlaced to progressive to 720p60p for final broadcast. That makes the most sense to me. Anyone care to disagree. Id like to use this posting to prove my point.
