I know what high definition video looks like, and I know what film
quality looks like. There is a distinct difference.

I am trying to understand why a local TV program claims to be
photographed with Sony High Definition equipment, but the quality of
the video looks as though it was shot on film.

By the same token, the program Globe Trekker shoots most of the program
on video, but insists on including footage in each program that looks
like 8mm movie film shot by a rank amateur.

Are these effects produced in the camera, or is it part of the editing
process on the computer?

I will be the first to admit that I don't have the talent to produce
quality documentaries (though I'd like to try) I'm just interested in
learning how these particular tricks are achieved.

Thank you very much for your help.

Sincerely,
Mike
