All I can
say my friend is “ya really really get what you pay for”.
We have
done several experiments with the whole HDV format and the best I can say is it
looks better then up-rez’ed BCSP.
However the biggest downside is that inevitably most things we do in HD
are destined to be aired in SD at some point and HDV does not downconvert well.
Good Luck
with your project, but if I were to counsel a client on the use of HDV, I would
have to suggest that they don’t use it for principle photography, second unit
MAYBE, but not for the whole show.
