We shot a short movie this week for a class I am taking on film direction. It was shot in HD in a beautiful location and the movie came out really pretty. When I burned it on a regular DVD, some of the feel and the look of the movie was lost. So I have a new appreciation for sharing the HD videos in HD format only.
So it was interesting for me to see a review of various HD video sites this morning.
Just an aside, slumdog millionaire was shot in HD video. There is something magical about movies shot on good ole film that can not be replicated by digital video. But HD video has its own beauty and I think more and more movies will be shot in HD going forward. I hope film won’t become a relic of the past anytime soon though.
