Shooting and Archiving Stock Footage
Hello,
I have decided to begin using some of my free time to shoot some stock footage of some of the Cities and various locations in my area. I do not know exaclty what I will do with this / when I will use it but I figure that Harddrives are cheap enough now it would be benificial to have footage lying around at all times. I will be shooting with my HVX-200. I am wondering what Format I should be shooting in to give me the best Flexibility for future projects. 1080i/30p 1080i/60i 720p/30p 720p/60p The type of projects these may be used in: Documentaries, corporate videos, commercials, news stories, internet media. If I shot in 1080i/30p I could always down-convert and crop the footage for what ever projects may need it? What format would the stockfootage companies start with? (Although I relize they are using more expensive camera's) Thank you, Dale W |

I wouldn't shoot in 720.
If you aren't on a specific assignment, I'd shoot each shot (or series of shots at a given location) twice. Once in 1080 24p and once in 1080i 59.94 That gives you options to sell to both the indie-film market or for television. Just my $0.02 |
