To shoot in HD format is still quite expensive, although the cost of camcorders is steadily falling.
A Styx we can and are producing the equivalent of 720i (1280 pixel, anamorphic) streams for custom shoots, which can then be downloaded and played onto HDTV by the person commisioning the movie- if they want to. These are MPEG4 format rather than MPEG2 and consequently lower bitrate, but similar quality, however they need to be played through a computer to the TV
We don't offer this as an option on the members site, because the demand doesn't appear to be there at present- and as it takes around 20 hours to encode a movie to this quality we won't do it until the demand is there
So we're way ahead at the moment- if you guys invest in the TV's to view the movies and the high speed connections to download them, then we can provide them anytime you want. |

By Ravenlord -
Doubtless in the same way that some producers are now producing DVDs as well as VHS, eventually wam materials will be produced in the new higher definition formats. It'll all depend on consumer take-up. Many professional producers are already using three-CCD camera gear (or better), I remember the late gret Rob Blaine was doing so at the end of the 90s. The final switch will be bad news for clip-tape collectors though, as the media industry has already declared all-out war on individual's rights to make their own recordings of broadcast material. Once VHS and analog recording in general becomes obsolete, the new digital systems will make it impossible to copy recordings, or extract clips, or indeed to watch a movie or program without also watching the built-in advertising, so forget fast-forwarding the ads, and forget recording cliptapes, the technology will prevent you from doing anything the RIAA and MPAA don't want you to do.
Enjoy the freedom of uncontrolled analog recordings while you can, their days are numbered!

I don't own an HDTV yet but expect to buy one in '04. I've seen enough HD broadcasts to be very impressed and am really looking forward to seeing that technology becoming mainstream. Do any of our wetlook producers think they will be recording in HD eventually? I know the technology is still rather expensive and a little immature but it is so intoxicating to see the picture quality that I have to think this will come on fast and prices will plummet. |
