Thanks.

Hopefully some of you will start to notice how important lighting design and it's relationship
to depth of field (sharpness) is when you watch a movie in both standard DVD and high definition.
Regardless of whether it was shot with a slow ASA stock in the fifties or the high lattitude stock
of today, the more light you have on set or on location, the sharper and finer grain the image
will look on video. Films shot with little light at low f. stops (i.e. "The Godfather", "Butch Cassidy")
don't transfer to digital easily.
