The HVX200's 1080P is Future Proofing your work!

Michael is not talking about the former thread that discussed the lack of difference between 720 and 1080. I believe it's been proven that 1080 does yield a superior image. So if you can deal with the high data rate and file sizes, shoot 1080. For me, personally, my two 8GB cards fill fast even shooting 720p24N. Additionally, the hard drive space gets depleted fast with the 720p60 and 1080 modes, so I'm sticking with 720p24N primarily.

So in short, yes, 1080 is a better move towards future proofing your work. But there are always other aspects to consider.
 
Thanks Holyzoo! The really smart one's like you do get it..

That new abstract short of yours was very awesome! Just finished watching the full res version. Sweet Vanilla!

This was to be an article on future proofing client material for way out in the future , however I have know time to write it. So posted the synopsis.

Some of you have missed the point, it was not about resolution, it was about the least amount of artifacts for post work and as well displaying on future 1080p systems and making sure that the work had the clearest pathway into that future 1080p market. If you need to future proof your work than you must do 1080p, that's all it was about. giving the client the most out of their money be it studio, tv or ad agency.

Where was resolution mentioned once in this exact thread by me!
 
Given the nature of the recording medium to come, Im sure that 720 will be more than adequate for most things to come. Some networks are 720.. some are 1080, maybe the same for the HD disks, and they'll all be compressed somehow.

I'm especially concerned for the quicktime HD files I made from some varicam footage. I can play it back on the G5, but there is so much noise now that wasn't in the original footage.. and the contrast and brightness seem way way off. I did it in DVDSP 4. Is there a problem with the codec? Quicktime? The trailers that I see in HD look awesome, and what I've pulled off looks like poo poo. Some more investigation will be in order. I'm also wondering if it's because I'm looking at the footage on the Dell 2405.
 
Again this is a """"think ahead""" piece I wrote. Not what we have now, but what is to come. The market place of TV's is a glimpse in what is coming. The future everything is going to be 1080P and higher.

If what you shoot now or your client needs has future market potential, shoot for the best then.

To those that still can't get the point that this thread was about, I can't help you see it then.... It has been explained in such simple context that a 10 year old would understand. Go back to school then! I throw my hands up in frustration...........
 
We truly do understand this thread, but our 10 year old brains.. harken back to another thread with some inflamatory.. flaming... B and W comments and cold hard fact finding that even McGruff would be hard to dismiss from his short-term memory. McGruff the digital pixel crimedog that is... not to be confused with---


But now, it's time to videotape my farts,, suck jellow through my nose, and shoot video of some backyard wreslin'... and I'm sure I'll get back and the leopard's spots will have morphed into something else.... on some other thread.

But once again if we don't get the point of this post, maybe it's just that your stunning intellect is too much for this video persuit.. and would be better served for all of mankind by a position in the Bush's administration... There were no WMD.. and there was no dipute about the 1080 vs 720...

And.. from our AK friend.. I did not have sexual intercourse with that woman... I have also denied having SI with a big women before.. Lord, how I've denied it in earnest.... COLLEGE dayzz... ahhh

Justyn, that post was not directed towards you, it just happen to follow after your post! Btw, you did have SI with that women, becuase I filmed it in 1080P from across the way. I have it! It's future proof for your great grand children....

Pappas... That rocks. I'll change my name to Miles Long...


It's all in fun.. anyway. I am just so effin' tired of having money and no camera.... but it's a character building activity to wait and wait.. Canons and Sony's and JVCs a plenty.. but AHHHHGGGHHHH me mates, where be the hump rising like a snow hill... It be Moby Dick in 1080P on the HVX... AHHHHGGHHHH.
 
I certainly understand the advantage of shooting 1080p to avoid larger blocks of compression artifacts between the two formats...yet, there's more to consider.

I'm not sure what format will look best on a 1080p TV. If you actually have to shoot "video" and the client wants a "smooth" video look, well, your choices in HD are 60p and 1080i. Depending on how good the deinterlacing algorithms are in future TV's, (don't hold your breath, Faroudja is expensive) 60p might actually look better when bumped up, alll things considered.

I think Michael's right though, 1080 is probably the smarter choice to acquire in, especially when the hard drive solutions become viable.
