Not even sure how to search this one...
We recently lost a bid for a b-roll job from our visitor's bureau and their issue was that one of the other biddrs really pushed the hi-def angle.
Short of the long is, how "important" is hi-def at this stage of technology? Can you deliver hi-def on Beta with no loss? I HAVE a hi-def TV and NEVER watch hi-def because it's so limited - and most of the time, it seems I'm watching standard that has been converted. My argument is that, at this point - not two years from now, but TODAY -- hi-def is not as crucial as it will be in a few years. The percentage of native HD programming and HD TVs out there make it less of an issue at this point. Maybe I'm completely off-base. Any light that anyone can shed would be appreciated.
