Yes it’s another post where 4K video features highly. You just can’t get away from it! But this post is not about making a 4K film – it’s about using 4K to make a 2K film.
I have just finished a 3-day speaking tour with TV-Bay for the Broadcast Show tour in Belfast, Leeds and Pinewood Studios. One of my talks was all about the pros and cons of 4K and raw. Although I didn’t use raw in this film, I used 4K enormously, and in these talks I showed off the massive power of reframing in 4K. Something we traditionally have rarely done because it looks so bad in SD and even in most HD. The only time I did it regularly was with my old EX1 shooting 1080p but editing on a 720p timeline.
