How important is HD to Doc Producers?

High Definition magazine has a current article looking at the 17th annual “Sunny Side Of The Doc”. In it, Dave Brewis writes up what is truly an international perspective on the role of HD in documentary film making. Key points include:

• How The U.S., France and especially Japan are marching ahead with HD commission and acquisition


• There is a gap in the demand and supply of quality HD productions


• A comparison of Carrier Project and BBC’s Planet Earth


• How HD Channels are helping ease the burden of HD production


• The duality of HD Doc production life on the big and little screen


• Most interestingly is a point raised to suggest there is room to challenge the cost of HD production through the birth of the VOD market.
