I really do doubt that - shot on film yes, but film can be shot at 25fps
also.
why would someone making a music video do 24fps when the purpose of the film
is to promote the song on tv - sounding normal.

or to put it another way, when you watch music video channels on tv, how
come the songs are normal pitch, normal tempo......

my Dad took me out for the evening and some girl was being a right
embarrassment
trying to get off with him, i had to pretend that i was his girlfreind
so that the stupid bitch would leave him alone, and we had a right
good laugh ahout it too.
