| Yes. And to further my post - my editor notes that film cameras were only referenced to 60hz around the time TV began appearing. Which doesn't change any of the technical details I believe. I've done the calculations over and over, and I believe my post is accurate. I also pulled out the manual to our Varicam, and it can reference either 59.94hz, or 60hz. So, everything seems to be confirming what I've found. I felt like I'd discovered gold when I finally realized that the pulldown itself does not change the speed of the video, the change of reference changes speed. I know a lot of the pro's on here probably have known that forever - but I'm just finally getting it.
And to Mr Purcell, your book finally gave me enough information to fully comprehend all of the numbers. Some of my other books simply said "23.98 has a special relationship with 29.97"... I can't accept that! So thanks for a great book. |
