[Don Walker] "Bottom line, the pilot says the issue is the 720 24p, and that I should have shot it at 1080 60i. Is there any truth to this?"
Maybe, maybe not. Unless shooting with a known and tested flawless system and a Tyler mount helicopter footage is notoriously difficult, and there are countless tales of all kinds of quirks, judders, and flickers working their way into video footage... for no apparent reason.
BUT... while the pilot might have thought he was giving you helpful
technical advice, he was also inadvertently giving you
aesthetic advice as well... your housepainter can tell you want kind of brushes he wants to use, and
suggest a brand of paint, but he can't dictate what color he wants to paint your house. 60i looks nothing like 24p, and if it's not the look you wanted, then it's not the look you wanted. Same for the camera, and its ability to match your other footage. Those things are
your calls to make... not the pilot's.
