I see it the opposite, we are evolving. I made many short films as a teenager, on svhs deck, and what the kids are making today blows my mind. There may be more lame videos on youtube than there was in the past, but the exceptional talent out there has sky rocketed too. Could be the cup half full half empty syndrome, if you look at it deeply and from more than one view?

Most of the awful videos on youtube that are HD are shot on a phone. In portraiat orientation!

The theory behind the new media like Utube has been for years that among the thousands of entries - the cream of the crop will rise to the top. This is merely theory because if you follow the Internet hype, everyone is to be connected and to become a self-styled millionaire entrepreneur who works from home. THIS folks! IS Just THEORY. It does not really work that way.
There are more people holding photo equipment in their hands than ever before, but the actual competent number of persons creating communication has remained in a steady proportion to the population increase, i.e., no significant change.

Well said @videoITguy

I disagree. It sounds like a pompous attitude based on jealousy and vanity.

And in conclusion, some people are not ready for 4K. :)

I can usually tell the "Pros" from the "Hobbyist" by the way they treat the Audio in their videos.
A nice crispy 4k image is only a fraction of what a serious "prosumer" videographer needs to worry about.
If one is to expect professional results, then all film making disciplines should be adhered to.

Very well said. Audio is a amateur/pro give away. I'm guilty of that falling into the amateur class.

Heart makes art. The rest is secondary.

However, in my studio the saying goes, 90% of video is audio. This is an exaggeration, but it is to teach the importance of good audio.

This is an exaggeration

not really ;-)

as the furry freak brothers might have said - audio will see you through times of no video, but video wont see you through times of no audio*.

stick that in your pipe and smoke it ;-)

love and peace man

Even though audio FX & music is usually my fav part of movies, I must say that the lack of many sound effects that we are 'used to' made the movie Gravity even more intriguing.

Although the reversal horns and strings like music did still replace the audio FX and enhance the visual effects.

I am talking about the scenes with spinning and colliding objects in space when things went wrong.

Also this all being shown in one shot would subconsciously give us an impression that this scene is not 'edited'.
Pulling you further into the scene than usual.

1:01 onwards is the lack of audio FX part:




On topic: I just came across this via NAB website:

@John_Cline 

"4k is great and it will be ubiquitous much sooner than five years from now..."

were both right.

  • I bought my first UHD camera in 2017.
  • I stream FHD from a media server most of the time.
  • I always render a UHD version, but seldom watch it on the UHD TV.
  • I sit too far from my TV to resolve the difference between FHD and UHD. That could be fixed by getting a larger TV.
  • I've done extensive FHD crops into my UHD acquired video for FHD delivery.
