Ready to make Money?
Don’t miss the new wave.
High Definition video is here!
If you hadn’t
noticed, riding the wave of Mini DV and DVD is dwindling. Sure it was
lucrative in the beginning, but with all the “mom and pop”
competitors springing up you probably realized that the bulk of the
money was made in the beginning, when we had the chance to get steady
repeat
clients. Now the clients have invested in their own equipment and they’re
doing it all themselves.
Its
time to make money again!
You can now create and sell your content on hybrid DVDs. It’s
true that the new HD-DVD spec is not in play yet and there are no HD-DVD
players on the market, however, we can all utilize current DVDs for
High Definition. This new DVD is not much different then the old one.
The steps in creating High Def content
are easy.
First you shoot with a High Def camera or an affordable HDV camera like
the Sony FX1 or Z1U. Edit in Final Cut Pro HD, Premiere Pro with the
Cineform HDV plugin, or Ulead. Author a DVD with ROM data containing
your High Def content and you’re done. Preparing your HD movie
for
a standard def DVD takes little effort and the result is a clearer picture
that your viewers will appreciate.
Here’s
where the fun starts...
Basically, there are three ways to watch High Def. Put it in your PC
(assuming minimum requirements are met) and you can watch it right here
on your computer monitor in full High Def resolution - full screen and
crystal clear! Or, if you do have a High Def television, you can hook
up your PC directly to your HDTV - for the best picture you've ever
seen at home. Ok let’s say all of that is too much work for you.
Just put the DVD in your regular set-top DVD player, and you'll get
the standard definition version. That’s right both versions are
on the same disc!
Ultimately, you’re getting a better picture by watching HD in
standard definition on your old DVD player then if your movie was shot
on Mini DV. How can that be true you ask? Doesn’t watching a DVD
shot on film look better than a DVD shot on Mini DV? High definition
means more information and more information means more detail. See
the difference-
