If your HD is twice the storage you are doing it wrong, true HD encoded and brilliant looking should not add more then 20% to your volume compared to SD (Raw files yeah ok but then again storage cost nada)
And you dont make more money with HD today common, you DID 3-5 years ago yes....today you just make less and less if all you have is SD
Dont even get me onto why HD 1080 is already a hugely outdated format and tapes as well  |
once again, i think you don't get my point. and since you are in the content business too it makes me a little sad. standard resolution video has become so cheap that some content producers sell scenes for 5 bucks. you and I know what it costs to produce content - with the models, makeup, location etc. etc.
the switch to HD was a chance to sell a better product for better prices. but again some people have nothing better to do than to ruin the prices for everyone. just yesterday i saw an offer with HD scenes incl. pics for $16 per scene. what is the purpose of this? i don't get it.
maybe you are in a better position because of partners, clients or existing contracts. maybe you don't care as much as you also resell other peoples content and get 50% - of whatever you sell the content for but without the actual cost of production.
we just sell content we have produced and i know very well what it cost us to shoot it. and i know how often i have to sell it for which price to make profit from it. and therefore i hate to see other content producer / broker giving away content for peanuts as it destroys my business and my income.
basic line: yes, i know HD does not cost me more but it makes my clients more money and therefore i expect them to pay me more.
