Obviously, Make-up and lighting have become more important than ever. It's easier to get a decent shot of almost anything other than a person in most lighting situations with these cameras, but the extreme clarity of HD can be harsh on human subjects.
Just wondering if this new HD revolution is all it's really cracked up to be when so few productions are actually in HD nowadays, which might make the stock footage hard to sell.
Thoughts?

It seems to me more productions are actually in HD nowadays rather than so
few. What I think makes stock footage hard to sell is that everyone with an
HD camera wants to sell stock footage and few want to buy it. It's so easy
now to get great color, clarity and focus from digital media.
I'm thinking that someone who has unique, very difficult to get stock footage
could sell it. Just looking at the main page ofitmsource.com I see they have
footage of the Olympics The US presidential elections and the UK Royals. I'm
thinking that the need for stock footage is the unusual and difficult to get. Is
that the kind of footage you're thinking of shooting and selling?
