AG DVX100 24p in the UK?

T

Thomas

I want to make a short trailer on the AG DVX100A in the UK. I can't find one rental house with the more desirable 24p camera. I know the UK is PAL, but aren't there NTSC DVXs for hire somehwere?

It's beginning to annoy me now. 25p is not acceptable to me.

If needs be, would it be feasible to ship a 24p camera in from the US or Canada?

Thanks
 
Why isn't 25p acceptible? The PAL system is 25fps and it's higher resolution than NTSC. Plus, the conversion to 24fps, should you need it, is supposedly fairly painless (a 1 to 1 frame transfer plus a slight adjustments to the sound speed and pitch).
 
The resolution is the point. I don't want it to seem like PAL, it needs to look NTSC.

Is it totally wrong of me to imagine it possible to rent a camera from the U.S.A. for the shoot?
 
You can do a standards conversion to NTSC. Where are you in the UK? I can help you find a rental house.
 
I'm gonna give the whole thing a long thought. I've got a great deal on the AG DVX100, the frame rate being the only problem.

I'm thinking if I put on the 35mm adapter, and play around with some true 35mm lenses, the quality will come out in my favor anyway

Thanks.
