The HVX200's 1080P is Future Proofing your work!
Whether it's for a network, agency, or your personal project you plan to sell, future proofing your work should be one of your major concerns.
I can't say this enough.
You have to think ""future"" proofing of your projects here guys and gals. Whether your shooting a film, a television show, doc or whatever the project may be that you believe has the potential to have legs that will last for many years, then you need to consider capturing in the best possible format today.
We all have fun with these cameras and all the geek tech talk, however at the end of the day this is a business like every other industry.
Delivering to your client content that will work today and into tomorrows world media distribution market should be one of your top concerns. Suppose a client requests a 1080P version of that project you were hired to shoot two years earlier, however you decided to not think ahead when shooting it in the first place and can only hand over a 720p bump up. However, reverse this and if you shoot 1080p and your client only needs 720P today, that is plenty easy for you to hand over after the project is complete.
Start at the Highest peak- Work down from there....
The 1080P with it's less artifacts vs the 720p will allow you in the future to carry your project into the 1080p realm more efficiently. In the current market place there are 1080p tv's coming in droves. This change over is happening much faster than I predicted. In two years time it's going to be even much more. Shoot today, with the future in mind. Don't lock your self into 720P with the option to have 1080p in the same camera.
If you need under/over crank for a scene, then shoot that piece and bump it up to 1080p afterwards.
The1080p mode is better because that's were the HVX200 starts out. It's 1080p first from the scan of the ccd's, then a 1080i, 1080p or 720p is made from that based on your choice.
If your going to do post heavy work and you want the material to have as much future proof as possible, you must use the 1080p mode. The compression blocks and artifacts are far more present in the 720p vs the 1080p in the posting stage. If optimum performance is what you need and you must have material that will hold in the grading stage of post production, than 1080P is your only answer for future proofing your work in all stages right into delivery of today's market, tomorrow's and the future.....
So keep this in mind the next time a client hires you for a shoot, or you've decided to throw the dice on that personal project you have always wanted to make.
Think about tomorrow, today..................
