ProHD Workflow
Our workflow is based around the ProHd format. If you are looking for a
professional 'film' look rather than the
amatuer
'video' look, ProHD is the solution. ProHD cameras record
progressive (full frame) images rather than interlaced (two field)
images at 24, 25, 30, 50 or 60 frames per second. This
provides
better
resolution and film-like motion as well as being the format used by
most modern HDTVs. And with JVC's new 200 series cameras that
can
shoot
up to 50 and 60 frames per second, you can also film images for slow
motion
analysis.
ProHD is used the world over by independent filmmakers looking for a
cinematic feel to their productions, with also the option of 24p being
transfered to film for a theatrical release. A most recent
example is the 2007 Oscar Award winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth
which was shot using a JVC GY-HD 100 series
camera (click
here to learn more).
Tapeless Workflow
We also operate
a tapeless
workflow with use of external harddrives, in addition to traditonal
tape archival. Tapeless aquisition has many advantages, most notably
the speed involved when reviewing and injesting footage into editing
software, making for fasterpost-production timeframes.
Our kit includes the
following:
