DV Filmmaking

Digital filmmaking is poised to revolutionize the way modern filmmakers tell stories. HD gives digital filmmakers the ability to manipulate high resolution frames. This will open up all sorts of layering and effects possibilities. DV resolution tends to fall apart fast when doing things like scaling the image up. The mixing of HD, DV, 2D and 3D elements will continue to metamorphosis into innovative visual styles, we have never seen before, to communicate in fresh ways.
