  Anamorphic DV and HVX 200

  Posted by Liam Lawyer on May 1, 2007 at 7:12 pm

  Greetings Herd!

  Got some questions about shooting anamorphic dv to tape on the HVX 200 –

  First, is it possible?

  Second, just to confirm, anamorphic does give you slightly better 16×9 image?

  Thanks!

  Not sure what you mean- the camera has the ability to capture anamorphic 16:9 and yes it looks pretty good. But HD looks better. 🙂

  Yes, I wish we were doing HD! Was a budget choice for gear used for edit.. 🙁

  Thanks for your help!

  Hi macfreek —

  I am shooting anamorphic DV with the HVX. It’s the Squeeze mode on the tape side. I like 480i/30p. I think it looks very good. I’ve chosen this format for various reasons of budget, workflow and archive/deliverables, and to be frank, people of a certain age are not necessarily complimented by the higher resolution of HD. Too much information. I’m doing a bunch of interviews with regular folks for a museum exhibit.
