Ursa 12k media and Doc questions

PostSun Sep 26, 2021 1:11 pm

I’ve been using 2 256GB SanDisk Extreme Pro cards in the URSA 12k. When I have the camera recording in the dual card mode, I can use all of the high frame rates easily. However, these cards are very expensive. I want to shoot some long interviews for a documentary in 8k 16x9 5:1 raw at 24fps. I have some questions:

1. This card is less expensive. Do you think it will work: Angelbird 1TB AV Pro CF CFast 2.0 Memory Card. Other affordable recommendations?

2. This documentary is mainly talking heads. Would you shoot it in 16x9 or a wider screen format? I’m thinking 16:9 is probably the way to go.

3. This doc will be entered into film festivals. After that, who knows. Should I shoot 24p or 23.976? I know it used to be that 24 was for theatrical release and 23.976 was for tv. Is that still the case or does it not matter anymore?

Thanks!
