Most movies are still shot using film, but it is still a much higher resolution than HDTV. HDTV is a fairly low resolution format compared to what movie studios use
a few recent movies have been shot using digital cameras. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_cinematography Ever watch any movie old movie on Blu-Ray? The picture quality can be superior to new movies. Its all about how it is converted from film to a digital format. |

However, there are a few server based D-Cinema systems operating in L.A. and N.Y. In addition, the original footage in many cases is shot in full uncompressed high definition. The camera equipment used is WAY above the little handy cams you see at Best Buy. Typical Hollywood mainstay is the Sony HDC-950 CineAlta and it goes for $100K without any lens. Want lens? Add another $100K Hollywood directors who use HD exclusively include George Lucas and Michael Mann. HDTV that is broadcast to you on cable and Direct-TV is at the bottom of high-def's ability. Blu-ray is the next step up, but is still dumbed down from the original uncompressed HD footage. You are now offically over informed. |

I was going to start a thread, but maybe this will do. What do you like to watch MOST on your HD television?
Sports - Foortball? Car Racing? Golf? Why? Movies - Sci-Fi / Adventures CGI? Animated? Dramas with people? Why? Video Games - Just because I know some of you like gaming. Which ones? Why? Broadcast TV - 24? Reality Shows? News shows? For me, I seem to like sports best, because of the clarity of some signals. THE BEST I have seen so far was the Indy 500. I am just getting going on this years pro football. I am a 49er's fan, but seem to be watching any game on just to see the sweet HD. I hate baseball. I like to play golf, but it was always boring on regular TV. With HD, I like it more. I have ton's of movies on DVD, but a lot of them were shot years ago so the HD doesn't do them justice, it makes them worse. Some are cool, like TRON / The Lawnmower Man, etc. I don't play video games. News is cool in HD except when you can see the zits / hair plugs, etc! You? Rob
