Last AlphaDog's Editors' Lounge featured cinematographers, cameramen and editors discussing their experiences working with the HDV format on episodic television, feature films and documentaries. They offer their advice on how to get the most out of HDV in production and post, and warn against what will happen if you don't.

Thanks for hosting that great session on HDV. I been shooting with the format since the first Z1 came into this country. Soon after, I sold my F900 and now shoot almost exclusively with the Z1 and mini35. There is so so much misinformation out there about the format. Your session was a breath of fresh air. Thanks! www.shfilms.com

This was an excellent presentation. Filled in a lot of information with what I've learned producing a low-budget movie in HDV.

This was really great. I'm setting up for a short film shoot this summer which we will be using the HVX 200 and the advice and sugestions given really helped clear some of my HD "cobwebs"

Great insights from the pros! We have the first community college course on HDTV production in the state of California and students are learning HDV and its many flavors by using the 720p JVC HD100U and 1080i Sony Z1 cameras.

Terrifying AND exciting comments! Last month I decided to dive in and I’m in post with my first HDV project. Groan. I certainly wish I had heard such clear information as yours from the various manufactures and suppliers hawking this format. I love the picture quality but hate the format hardware issues and incompatibilities.
