>But possibly the fear of down conversion softness is
why they shot SD for an SD spot.
So shoot 16x9 to future proof, protect for 4x3 and extract a 4x3 center-cut.
Still better looking than shooting 640x480. After shooting so much HD,
framing 4x3 feels so claustrophobic. Now shooting 6x6 with a Hasselblad is a
totally different matter...
The reason NTSC on a computer is 640x480 is because computers use square
pixels. The smaller raster is really the true imaging area for NTSC once you
take away the electronic blanking and sync pulses that use up part of the
720x486 raster.
