YouTube Now Streams “Sideshow” In High Definition!

Posted by Bradley under Art, Movies, Personal, Technology

YouTube is now offering a “Watch in HD” option for videos that were originally uploaded from an HD source.

Previously, the link read “Watch in High Quality” which really wasn’t HD quality.

As we reported earlier, YouTube recently switched from a 4:3 aspect ratio to a 16:9 aspect ratio which brought the widescreen video format necessary to support High Definition video.

Without further adieu…

Enjoy Blatant Mockery’s “Sideshow” in HD.

It really looks great!

The comparison shots above don’t do it any justice.

Hit up the link and please rate and comment on YouTube!!

As I sit here mastering out wedding videos in all their high definition glory I stumbled across this Wedding Fail and it made me laugh — really hard.

RED Digital Cinema Drops the Scarlet 3K

Posted by Bradley under Personal, Technology

RED Digital Cinema makes some pretty serious cameras. Like the RED One –with a 4K video resolution. Think 1920×1080 times two! Wait, soak that in. Let me repeat that. 4000 x 2250. Check the graphic below for an explanation.

See that tiny little SD square at the far right? That’s the Handycam everyone has. The Canon XH-A1 of Blatant Mockery fame is the 1080P square. Like your flat screen TV. Minor problem… the RED One costs $17,500. Ouch!

Set for availability in early 2009, the 3K Scarlet will be sub $3000. I’m thinking $2999. Well worth the price. And it records to Compact Flash cards! Now if we can find a computer capable of editing said footage…
