60fps? Not for me...

Ive seen a lot of videos coming out lately in 60fps and thats cool, I can appreciate the whole advancement of technology and all but FUCK I hate looking at footage in 60fps. Maybe its partly because of my love of the "LO-FI" vibe people have been putting out lately but its so unnatural looking in my opinion. Like its in slow mo but sped up (yea that doesn't make sense but those who agree might understand what i mean) Also I can get down with it if the clip is slowed down but then it wouldnt be playing at 60fps anyway so i guess thats different. Anyways I wanted to know what other peoples thoughts on it were.
 
I personally love the look of 60p to be honest but I know what you mean and can see why some wouldn't like it.

I think it depends on the project and your shooting style honestly.
 
I usually interpret 60p footage at 24 when I import and just speed it up on ramps. I agree 60p looks pretty shitty on its own
 
like everyone else said I film 60fps so you have slo mo capabilities but export to 24 fps for cine look also more natural to watch

Except people are forgetting that shooting at 60fps and exporting at 24fps isn't the same as shooting at 24fps and exporting at 24fps. When you film at 60 fps you should have a minimum shutter speed of 1/120 (for a 180 degree shutter) whereas when filming at 24fps you only need a shutter speed of 1/48 to achieve a 180 degree shutter. The difference in shutter speed can give a noticeable difference in viewer perception of the footage.

damn i never thought about that but i see what you mean, you can export the frame rate but the shutter speed it was filmed at wont change (hopefully i got that right...). im not sure myself but hopefully someone else can comment on this cause it could definitely change the way footage looks.

yeah what you are saying is correct. If you want to learn more I encourage you to read this article by RED cameras.
 
60 > 24 is a no go for me because you end up dropping extra frames which creates a "skip" every 5 frames. And if you interpret 60 (or 30) to 24 then you have to deal with time changes and like 87% speed. 60 > 30 is the truth. IMO if you're exporting 24, shoot 24 or shoot 48 so you don't get the choppy 60/30 > 24 look.

I had considered putting in 48 and 24 as options but that wasn't really the difference I was talking about.
