I was watching cloverfield on my blue ray player. And it dawned on me I didn't know whether they shot it 720 or 1080 does anyone have the answer? I ve searched everyone and cant find it.
They were ostensibly trying to create something like a "palmcorder look" (although it looked much better than that), so choosing 720p would seem to make sense. Longer P2 runtimes probably helped too, considering the shooting style. I think 8GB cards were the biggest ones available at the time.
