Magazine Mistakes Part 2

Well, ok. Just one. And, I suppose it might not actually be a mistake. But it sure is confusing.

The current issue of Videography has an article about the new Stacey Peralta Film, “Made in America.”

The beginning of the article talks about the need to shoot HD on this project over Super16mm film due to the subject matter. Then a bit further they talk about shooting HD in the streets on a DVX100A, and how they had a guy running tapes back and forth.

I suspect they actually shot on a HVX200 and were running P2 cards back and forth, or they did really shoot on a DVX100A in SD, as that camera does not shoot High Definition.

Later on, they talk about shooting Varicam in a controlled environment, but they specifically call out shooting HD on a DVX100A in the field. Page 26 if you want to look for it.

Further looking at it, the part about shooting HD, is in a quote. I bet that quote is taken from the part about shooting in the controlled environment on the varicam, and just inserted into the field production section.
