When is it desirable to film in 1080 vs. 720?

If you have to shoot a talking head interview, would it not be better to shoot in 1080?
Even if its going straight to video, would 1080 not be a better option in situations where there is little movement (tripod) such as shooting interviews or still life?

Indeed, and if your final output has lower resolution than 1080 you can rescale for reframing and even add a motion like a pan or small tilt to it. Have a look at the commercial I produced and delivered a couple of weeks ago - all shot in 1080 25p. You find it in my link below and I have a thread in the gallery section with some notes on how I worked with it.
