Well HDV (according to Wikipedia) is capable of capturing 24 frames per second, and capable of either 720p or 1080i, so I believe 24 fps goodness in 1080i is what we can look forward to.

Here's a link for anyone who'd like to know more about how the film will be stored if we win the print. I didn't know that HDV was just DV with compressed HD video on it, I was a little wary at first, but considering the bit-rate will be close to 20 Mbit/s, it should look great.
