Big Brother HD Style
As part of being a video editor, you pretty much have to look at ALL the footage for a shoot to log and decide the best scenes to use. Looking at some recent HD footage from a concert with approx. 20k people, the razor-sharp clarity of some of the crowd shots gave me a thought: If someone were trying to document someone being at that place, at that time... you can pick out WAY more detail on faces in the audience on the wide shots with HD than with standard def. You can also zoom in much much more before the image starts breaking up.
