HD Workflow

Hey Cow,

So here is my situation: I am developing a horror project. We are weighing the pro's and cons of shooting HD. We just did a test with the Viper, and while it is nice and looks pretty good, its "ease of use" and lack of flexibility is pushing us towards shooting on the Sony F900 with a Pro35 adaptor and 35mm lenses. My questions are the following: Our post workflow is as follows: Acquiring HDCAM 24p and using the miranda box to downconvert to DVCAM while shooting. Offlining DVCAM in FCP (I have the DSR-11. Do I need a better deck?) Shoot out an EDL and finishing at a post house on a Nitro. From there, we plan on doing a color correct (DaVinci 2k or desktop HD DI?) and mix. I am new to this, so please, if anyone can fill in the blanks or add some insight, this indie producer would be very greatful!!

Thanks!!
