Response to Results of HD or HDTV transfer to film

from Michael Ash (MASH@NEWTEK.COM)
Thanks for the info Biagio. I was in L.A. the week before I wish I could have seen it. Did the shots include low light secnes or any fast movemnet. I understand that video to film falls apart under those conditions. Also did Sony mention the cost? I don't have figures but I understand that it isn't cheap. Everybody seems to have thier own method of transfering to film but they are all doing the same thing. The XL1 info is useful. I'd like to shot HDTV But from what I can tell from cost of renting a camera plus the film look costs it may be cheaper to shot 16mm at this time. Not to mention there are no HDTV editing systems at this point. >>Also, it is extraordinally that you not overexpose any part of the >>video I can understand this part since no computer system can break pixels apart. But this brings up a question of latatude and response in DV video. If your limited to shoting only under fixed condtions and lighting levels is it worth the hassle at this point? I'm used to be a photographer so image quality means a lot to me.
