  1. You can always master and upscale your project to 1080 in HDCAM in a post house of your selection. It's not uncommon at all...
  2. I know its a little bit OT but I just need to say something here, which sort of fits in the conversation I started my learning process as a Director 3 years ago, mainly through watching countless films, reading books and scouring the internet for information regarding it. I actually bought into the "hype" of buying an HVX, through the internet and I guess you can imagine in which particular website I had this experience... It turns out the camera was actually very good...but by no means what it was so much praised to be... One of the things I learned was that (besides the technicalities and the workflow, which I'm pretty good right now), just because you got yourself a camera and read some stuff, doesn't mean you can actually direct or light... It used to be in the old days that no inexperienced man could grab hold of a professional piece of gear like a camera, prior to having a great deal of experience and time on set assisting or even bringing coffee. That situation had its extremes and maybe prevented people from having access to the "elite" so it had its downsides.. Accessibility has changed in our days and almost anyone can have access to professional gear and in one way or the other, have an opinion very early on in his/her career. While information is now more freely exchanged, it sort of is the other side of the coin and we are paying the price of our inexperience and dumbfounded confidence that we can pull off great gigs. So I ask myself: Where's the actual experience? And making that question always helps...I think maybe its a question every new guy needs to make and in this case, the original poster... I also believe that its this exact inexperience that some camera makers rely on, to make their sale... Since I made my first TV commercial I cannot even think of planning my next work without calling my DP...
