The Pros and Cons of HDV
By MicroCinema Scene • Apr 2nd, 2007 • Category: News
There’s still a lot of information/disinformation regarding the HDV format. Since it’s still a relatively new format, there are a lot of areas where techniques are being developed on the fly to push the envelope. In the MicroCinema scene, it’s already been used very successfully on many movies including Marc Fratto’s Last Rites of the Dead. The cost and accessiblity of HDV mean it is a format that micro-filmmakers should be ready to exploit. Studio Daily has released several videos from a recent AlphaDogs Editors event in which industry professionals discuss how HDV is being used on big budget productions and how the format can be maximized. Some of the topics covered inlclude:
- Using the Canon XL-H1 in conjunction with the Viper on the feature-film Homo Erectus
- The use of the Sony Z1U on television series like JAG and NCIS
- Misuses of the HDV format
- Problems with HDV in post-production
