It's been a while since I have posted, but I need some filmin' help, and this place has never let me down in the past.
To cut out all the details: I directed my first music video tonight. Shots were awesome, I thought, and we had a perfect day to do it. Only problem is, I had my shutter speed at 30, and my camera op left his on at 60 (even though I said "We'll film this in 30"). Trying not to be too angry about this, because everyone makes mistakes, but I don't think we are going to get another shot at this. Is there anything I can do in post (using either Adobe Premiere or Adobe Premiere Pro) to rectify this? Right now, I am pretty much at a loss.
Many thanks, Me

nope, but is the footage really that different? the motion artifacts will be different (noticeable only in fast moving objects). But, that should be it (assuming both cameras were properly exposing the image using gain and aperture). If there is a difference, maybe you could post stills or footage that illustrates it.
So far, thanks for the help...I'll definitely try to get some stills up asap. I'm stuck over at work doing stuff right now, so I can't get to it yet.
I've had some time to cool down today, so I'm not quite as upset as I was last night. We (the camera op and I) talked about it earlier, and we're okay.
You definitely can tell a difference in the motion shots. The chorus is very intense, so we have a lot of action going on (simple hand held dollying, arcing, etc.). However, am I telling the difference because I filmed it and KNOW there's a difference? Who knows...
If all else fails, I'm going to find a way to incorporate it into the video (which I will post on here when it is finished, more than likely). I can usually pull stuff out of my rear when it comes to situations like this...just sucks to have to resort to that tactic, ya know?
So, the short of this post: Thanks for the comments so far, and I will post pics asap.

Update: I think I have the problem solved; plus, it was only neccessary to use about 5 seconds worth of the shots in question. Thanks for the suggestiond guys!
As for how I solved them, I'm still working on the shots, but I've added noise, tweaked the contrast, and lastly, I am giving it to a guy who is going to tinker with it in Sony Vega.

Thanks! I've seen his work...he's pretty good with it as well; it's a program I am wanting to break into at some point in the future, when I purchase a new computer and can actually run it.
