HIGH DEFINITION
I first came across the European 1250 line HD system in 1992 but I've been involved in shooting various 1080 High Definition Projects since 2000.
Since September 2007 I have been the AHRC Creative Research Fellow in HD Imaging at Bristol University

WORKING WITH INIGO JONES December 2004 and I technically directed and shot, a 4 x Panasonic HD 60fps Varicam 720 multi camera shoot for High Definition DVD - one of the first of its kind worldwide (25p). This production was shot in candlelight which I'd pioneered the use of for The Soldiers Tunic. The Varicam rates at around 800 - 1000 ASA, so I chose this format (in relation to its final compression ratios for HD DVD) as being the optimum format for this project.
