5D Mark II 30p vs. 5D Mark II 24p - Side-by-Side Scenes · May 11th, 2010, 04:17 AM

We shot two scenes. One scene used the 5D Mark II before the firmware upgrade and shot true 30p. The other scene had the firmware upgrade and shot 24p. Which scene do you think was 24p?

I'm happy that Canon gave us the firmware upgrade adding 24p, but I would have rather had 60p than 24p. I never had a problem with the look of the 5D Mark II 30p. I doubt any non-filmmaker, regular viewer would be able to tell the difference between the camera's 24p or 30p.

looks good so far. Have to say the entire cast of the female screen was MUCH better.

We had over 3000 views and hundreds of comments and overwhelmingly people chose the Female Version, so the role of Zimm will be played by her.

Congrats on making the "right" decision. ;-)
That actress nailed it, in my opinion. She was though enough, but also just quirky (read, "different") enough to I didn't think, "Seen it a dozen times."

I look forward to seeing how your project progresses.
