What is the final resolution you finish your work? If it's any of the 4K options please provide info where you display your 4K material thanks.

2K includes 1080p.

Not screening 4k yet, and doing +2k mostly for testing purposes. Fun to do, though, and there is a couple of cinemas here in Oslo where stuff can be screened @4k. Will finnish 3 shorts in 4k now in may.

Sounds probably strange, as I am repeatedly pointing out that most finnishing is happening in 2k/1080. But as I have stated, me the geek likes the 4k options.
It's just not commercialy viable yet. Here.
 
Thanks for providing the 4K information.
 
I finish at 2K or less, but if it's a composite, I'll do that at 4K or higher like Gavin does.

Compositing is one of the areas I'm really glad I shoot Red. :)
 
When HD was almost out i offered the company i was working to purchase HD equipments.
there was a lot of resistance as nobody was broadcasting HD at that time.
i offered 2 questions;
1- is HD out?
2- is the quality of HD content superior to that of SD?
I won that argument and just recently, I re-visited those projects originated in HD but delivered in SD and re-rendered them in HD.
the client was speechless to see his SD and ugly early flash videos in crisp HD quality after many years.

I think those questions are still valid today. So for that reason, even though i have to deliver my projects in HD today, the opportunity to come back and re-transcode to 4K in future is liberating.

Work at as high as possible - much better comps and keys that way. Then output 1080p to client AND archive at full 4k.
 
Acquire at the highest quality possible. Output what you need for today and know you are OK for tomorrow.

Easy stuff to understand.

Well as Jim said, exactly what I do.


In fact, I'm eagerly awaiting DRAGON, so to be able to go and shoot 6k, especially so for me that I take LOTS of Frame Grabs for my Photography work from the EPIC, as I no longer use Photo Cameras to do my Still work.


At list till I get the EPIC 645... Then will be an other game to be played all together... ;)
 
I always finish my projects at 4K. Most of my project are for Youtube. Which supports 4K already. Kind of nice :p:emote_22_yikes:
 
This poll makes absolutely no sense. Most regional stations in the US request 720 x 480 deliveries on Beta SP. In 2012. Sure we shoot in 4K glory and archive for ourselves, but even the most demanding clients only want 1080p to archive. That leaves us with tonnes of 4k material shard drives which we incorporate in our billing anyway
