I'm sure that a few of you guys are aware that film generally runs at 24 frames per second, whilst PAL video runs at 50i/25p, resulting in a problem. The 24p film scan has to be sped up by about 4% to allow for a fluid conversion. I'm sure that you guys also know that Tugs was filmed with 35mm, albeit with a variable speed camera, thus making it next to impossible to know if the PAL tapes we've been watching for all of these years are sped up or not. In this video, a demonstration is shown on what the Tugs footage is like if played back at 24 fps. The video slowdown was achieved in Sony Vegas and the sound pitch adjustment was done in Pinnacle Studio.
Ah hell, watch the video then get out there and have a good Fourth of July!
