Can Video Guys Shoot HD?
A ‘video guy’ will know how the camera works and have a sensitivity toward CCDs’ limited contrast range. He will be able to troubleshoot any problems and not make silly mistakes. However, he may not have experience in framing for a big screen or working with a focus puller. In the United States there has been very little drama shot on video whereas in other parts of the world electronic cinematography has existed using Digibeta for many years. An ‘Electronic Cinematography’ set up is similar to film, with film style lenses focus pullers etc.
