If transferring 16mm to HD either DVCPro HD or Sony HDCam the film has to be transferred to 23.98fps right? If thats the case does that mean during production your sound should be going at 23.98 because even though a film camera is running 24fps your transferring it to digital at 23.98?

Are they worth purchasing? I would probably get the one for higher speed stocks but I don't hear much about people using them. The first time I heard about one actually, was recently in class from a teacher who said they aren't used as much now since the vision 3 stocks are closer to your eye.
Hello,
I have a question on hard sources. What light would create the best hard source of sunlight? I am shooting a student film and we want to pump in hot sunlight through these two windows of a house. Right now we have two 4k HMI fresnals and I was wondering if that is "punchy" enough to give...
