I wish VX was still industry standard. People haven't found a way to make HD look too nice yet. Only Ty and Jason Hernandez and a few others have really done it right.

Since you are a real life filmer, what do you think of HD videos cropped to 4:3?
Specially, videos shot with fullframe DSLR's using crop camera lenses (those cheap 8mm fish).

example
(don't know of a skate video example, thats why I post this one)


As one of the comments says, it combines the best of both worlds. Some may think this hybrid stuff sucks, like a battery powered ferrari (not the best comparison, but as with the example video, it seems to go against its principles, or something like that).

Damn.

I actually really like that, you get the wideness of the SD fisheye but the clarity of the HD AVCHD codec.

Do you know what camera and lens he's using?

EDIT: It's a possibility that he's shooting 4:3 on a DSLR. I know a few guys who do that with their 7Ds, I never really experimented with it but I like it.

I'm I really can't tell. The only two bike videos I've seen were made by the same guy, who films for Volume bikes. This one looks extremely well, the other one is not uploaded at HD like this one, I bet its 480p but still looks great.

To stay in topic, recently one of the best bmx filmers, Ryan Navazio, mainly known for all the works he's been doing for Cult Crew (Latest DVD coming to address next week, got on the plane yesterday woohoo), posted a workflow for standard definition footage to yield better results after being uploaded to Vimeo.

He even re-uploaded the DVD's promo with the new settings, and it's clearly noticeable the difference.
