Using HD Cameras

The HD cameras that we are using this year are much better than the mini DV cameras we used last year. I first used one of the HD cameras when we filmed the Jason Donovan 'Too Many Broken Hearts' mini-vid and I found it easy to use. The quality of footage is really good and this will be useful if we need to enlarge a shot in post-processing, so we wont lose much quality. Its also easier to get the footage from the camera to the macs because they use SD cards. When the footage is uploaded it is already split into different takes which didn't happen with the old cameras. This should make editing quicker and easier.
