So we've had all these thought provoking discussions about what id HD, and cameras and lenses and 24p and a whole host of things about the image but what about that rather more important part of our production, the soundtrack?
Why do I think this is important. One things for certain, a HiDef image on a large screen says "Stop, watch me!!!" but along with that we also stop and listen. So what our productions will be targetting isn't where we're mostly at today, something that's heard with a high ambient noise, instead the lights will be dimmed and everyone will be focussed on our production with way less distractions than SD permits. If nothing else this means our audio needs way more dynamic range which means for most of us much better kit.
Sorry if I'm being a bit obtuse here but with all the discussion about HD video this issue seems to be totally ignored and my gut feeling is it deserves way more attention than it's getting.
Bob.
