Cameras

There are two types of cameras available to us, the XL1s and DVX100. Both delivering high quality images in different ways. The XL1s films in 25 frames interlaced and the DVX100 films in 25 frames progressive. Progressive would be better for making the film look more film-like but having interlaced would give it a sharper motion such as Coronation Street or Eastenders.

25frames Interlaced Footage



Having carried out tests using both cameras we have decided to go with the Panasonic DVX100 for a more film-like quality. The action seems to flow much better and the pictures are more smooth.
