Competitions & HDV
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2008 12:00 am
Just before you 'close this thread' can I just say that I have found that even if I shoot in HDV or even full uncompressed HD when I downscale to DV for exhibition purposes the resulting picture quality is superior to what I used to get shooting DVCAM. So we don't, in my opinion, need to rush about trying to show HDV tapes until they are much more widely acceptable but if we can, and want to, we can improve the final resultant DV (or DVD), by shooting in HDV or HD.
By the way we at Finchley Film Makers recently spent a morning testing all our material and formats in the local Phoenix Cinema where they have installed £60,000 worth of kit to show digital media. The pictures from most formats looked incredibly good and the best could easily be mistaken (certainly by your average 'punter') for 35mm film!
