HD Shooting and Format Decisions

Today's independent filmmakers are faced with a staggering array of formats and technologies with which to capture their vision. As HD formats become increasingly affordable and digital filmmaking matures, the critical decision of what to shoot-from film to the various competing HD standards to lesser digital formats-may become the singlemost important production factor. This choice can determine who will fund the film, how it will be made, and who will eventually see the movie. This forum includes representatives from each camp discussing the factors involved in choosing a format, and reviewing the state of available technology. Moderated by Nick Dager, editor and publisher of Digital Cinema Report.

Note: no ticket is required for this event.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
