Shooting formats - do I need HD?
|
|
There's no doubt that High Definition
(HD) is making an impact in all areas of video making, but is it always better than
Standard Definition (SD) and does everyone actually need it?
The answer is "No" to both questions. For
example, the size and resolution of video on the web is often less than that
from SD video, let alone high enough to take advantage of HD.
That said, HD video via the web is now quite
possible. Take a look at the video below which I shot on a large-format HD
video camera, which takes lenses from 35mm film cameras. |

Video Production Services
|
Video is a great medium for
putting a message across, but getting that message into a video is a
very technical process.
I can take your ideas and
craft them into a fully featured video production. I can help develop
the script, organise the shooting, generate graphics and undertake the
editing.
I have extensive
experience of a wide range of television programme genres, and you will
get the full benefit of my 20 years with Granada TV. In particular, I
have considerable drama experience which is hard to come by outside of
the film & TV world.
Whatever type of video
content you require, in whatever style, please feel free to phone or
call in to discuss it further. Whether it's a simple piece-to-camera or
a dramatised training video, I'm sure I can help!

Delivery Formats
|
|
Once upon a time there was one main delivery format for video, and that was
on VHS tape, played onto an old-fashioned TV set.
Today, VHS has all but been replaced by DVD (and BluRay coming on
fast), but there's so many other ways
for video to be viewed. A DVD may be viewed on a PC screen, or a video file
may be played from a memory card via a data projector onto a big screen. Or
your HD-ready TV could be showing video that's being downloaded from the
internet. So many possibilities and permutations!
Of course not all formats will give the same end results, but we can advise
you right at the planning stage to ensure your production is optimised for
its chosen audience.
