Shane Ross slams HDV

Shane Ross runs the very fine blog: Little Frog in High Def, where he blogs about editing issues and technology. It’s one of my daily reads and you should definitely check it out.

Anyhow, in a recent post Shane goes off on a rant about the difficulties in working with HDV in a professional production environment. I personally thinks he sells the format short, he seems to have a real problem with some of the nitty gritty technical aspects such as capturing and workflow, and then goes on to dismiss the entire format out of hand as “unprofessional”.

I’m thinking he may have just had a bad capture day, but read his post and see if you agree with his observations.

Update: Shane’s taken down his original post, citing a bit of misplaced anger and frustration.
