2-Cam Mix : 1 HD + 1 SD

[hellawaits77]

How do you think a 2-cam mix would look with one source being filmed in Hi Def and one in Standard Def? I think it would be ok, but what are some of your thoughts? Would it look strange as one source is obviously much brighter/clearer? I'm filming several shows this and next month where I know I can film, and wanna ask one of my buddies to film w/ my Standard Def cammie.

Alex and I used a combo of cams for Karma To Burn. Granted, I filmed in SD, but the footage was still a bit more "crisp". Granted we were using 6 and 7 cams, so the footage is more spread out. You can tell from the clips that some work better together than others. If the SD has a good low light performance, it should look better.

Check out a clip or 2:

I'd say give it a go, but film the show like you normally would, not really trying to set up shots for a 2 cam
