I recently posted news about an hour-long documentary that I edited--entitled "Sons of War" that was shot on location in Austria, Belgium and Germany. The acquisition format was HDV (1440x1080)using a Sony HVRZ1U. I on-lined and conformed the project in 1920x1080 with Cineform Prospect then exported to HDCam for presentation.
This past weekend, the doc was screened at the festival on a big Harkins Theater screen and it looked FANTASTIC. I saw other entries at the festival that were shot in full 1920x1080 (usually with a CineAlta) and also digitally projected but they simply didn't look as good as ours. I am now fully convinced that a feature shot in HDV and posted with Prospect HD can be released theatrically.
A Big THANKS to the the Two Davids.
