The BBC decision has had the Avid forum up in arms! How dare they shun Avid
'cause Avid is the God damn market leader they cry! Well, saving 18M a
year in production costs in one department alone by using FCP+Kona2+Sony Z1
cameras has got my vote!
I am glad the BBC has broken the shackles of the boutique Avid facilities in
Soho and are delivering us license payers better value for money.
One of the programmes on BBC2 call Full on Food already has used the FCP/Z1
during production and there was no way that anyone could tell such
affordable tools were being used. The Z1 picture quality in DVCAM mode is
obviously as good as the DSR 570.
If I was a facility owner in Soho or a camera operator/owner with Digibeta
or DSR 570 I'd be shitting myself.
