Why I’m a 4K Convert for Acquisition!
Comments off · Posted by Philip in Interesting Technology, Lunch
For the Lunch with Philip and Greg project we shoot 4K and extract 1080 out of the larger image (or scale the image down). Working on the edit of the next to be published, this very moment shows why I find a big advantage in 4K for acquisition.

You can see from the multicam thumbnail why I wanted to crop this image, even though the shot on Greg is the best choice for that moment. And yes, cutting around eating is one of the early challenges of this project. We’re developing better strategies as we gain experience.
In a new blog post Seth Godin makes the point:
Any useful technology that’s successfully adopted by a culture won’t be abandoned. Ever. (Except by top-down force).
The technology might be replaced by a better alternative, but society doesn’t go backwards.
I could not agree more. The value in knowing is to adapt quickly to changes to better position yourself for the future.
Our first Lunch with Philip and Greg episode is up and Mark Spencer is our guest.
Mark Spencer is a freelance producer, editor, teacher and writer based in the Bay Area. His company Day Street Productions is a production and post studio focused on corporate video. He is an Apple-certified instructor, teaching for organizations such as BAVC, Stanford University, DVExpo, MacWorld, and consulting for corporations and individuals.

He maintains www.applemotion.net, a resource for Motion. Mark has an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
A little background to our latest project. Greg and I take people we think are interesting out to lunch, and record it. Our first video will go up shortly, but I thought I’d run through the background first.
