Hands-On HDV
Some tips on using HDV, the consumer High-Definition format:
Remember what DV did for standard-definition video acquisition? Ostensibly a consumer format, it opened the door for more than just accelerated home-movie production. Ten years down the line, it’s enabled everything from hip TV commercials and documentaries to Danish art films and shark-attack thrillers. Now HDV, which was also introduced as a consumer format, is catching on even more quickly. Whether it’s your primary acquisition format or a B-roll solution, if you shoot smart and edit smart, you can get great value for your money.
