I shoot and edit 200 television commercials a year with my JVC 111. I also shoot and edit corporate videos. I always shoot in HDV and convert to SD.

Low-end corporate, but high-end ambition...

The term broadcast quality is so nebulous and the goalposts shift from time to time. For example a lot of "broadcast quality" video shot about a decade ago on Sony SP cameras actually looks quite noisy compared to even SD off the ProHD - especially after finally getting to air through multiple analogue generations.

I would say the ProHD cameras are definitely capable of producing broadcast quality video in the hands of an experienced operator with enough light.

We use ours for a three day a week corporate TV show and in HD for small budget TVCs.

I bought mine thinking I could become something. Then - I found this video, and I realized - I just can't compete....

What's a guy to do?

I hear you Jeffrey... watching that and some of their other captivating films made me want to take all my cameras and throw them off the nearest cliff.

It's actually scary to think that the whole Fred & Sharon movie production company thing is genuine.


I love it!!

THANKS friend, very thanks

I have HD 250chu and I shoot 6-10 long form (15 minute) Drive through car commercials a week for the local cable company. You know the type, where the dealer stands in front and talks about each car as it rolls up. The best things about it are 1) Car dealers/salesman are really good guys and 2)the gig is over in 15 minutes.

"Fred & Sharon movie production company"

Oh my GOD that was funny!

Software demo and training videos. A real yawner, but they pay well and pay fast!
