There can’t be very many filmmakers who know more about working with the HDV format than Frederic Haubrich. As president and co-founder of Lumiere HD, he helped a whole cross-section of videographers using JVC’s HD-10U get their footage into Final Cut Pro back in the dark days before there was such a thing as native HDV support. So it makes sense that, when Haubrich directed his first feature film, Tomorrow Is Today, he decided to shoot it in HDV.

The end result is here: An overview of the decisions and discoveries I made while producing a real-world project in HDV, along with the reactions of some seasoned DPs to the final film result. I found out a lot during the process-more than can fit in the pages of the magazine. More details about the project are available online at DV.com.
