Analogman Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 The first (and so far, only) HD shot concert film I have seen/own is, The Black Crowes: Freak N' Roll. It looks weird the first time you see it - almost 3D, or it looked that way to me, anyhow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 i'm aware of the dvd project but i meant like a professionally shot concert. i've only ever seen the last tupelo show from the dvd project and it most certainly isn't professionally done.The one I mentioned is professionally done. Sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

the_fliz1 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 The first (and so far, only) HD shot concert film I have seen/own is, The Black Crowes: Freak N' Roll. It looks weird the first time you see it - almost 3D, or it looked that way to me, anyhow. You know I thought the exact same thing. That was the very first thing I watched when I got HD cable and it was great. It kind of threw me off a bit at first, but by the second guitar solo in "Halfway to Everywhere" I didn't even notice it. On a note more apt to the thread, I preordered Ashes today and I am stoked. I watched the clip of "Monday" that came with it and I really wish it was April 18th already.

Guest Hollinger. Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 well damn, that looks pretty snazzy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zkits Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 My only critique is that all the shots save for one come from the stage (or right in front of it)... It seems a little claustaphobic. Anyways, all I'm hopin for are some shots from the audience's perspective so I can see everything all at once. That's my two cents. However, I still think this DVD is totally going to rock!

samuel70 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Does anyone know whether the dvd is region 0 or else ? I'd like to pre-order it but I have to make sure it'll play on my European region 2 DVD player; Samuel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elixir Sue Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 The Monday clip looks awesome. I'd still like the ability to watch one member of the band during any given performance; "player cam," if you will. (Who am I kidding? I really just want a Glenn cam. ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 that was freaking awesome. i remember pogoing like crazy on the last "alright's" i can't wait for this to come out! (about a month now!!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frogwater Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 well if it doesn't come out on blu-ray, is the dvd at least going to have 5.1 audio? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bleedorange Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Shot in HD This is what I don't understand. Why are they touting this as a feature if it is not getting a blu-ray release? Is there a difference in DVD quality of something based on how it is originally filmed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Preferred B Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I beg you to take the blu-ray vs. DVD questions here: http://forums.viachicago.org/index.php?showtopic=38650 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 HD is a type of camera. It makes better digital pictures than a regular digital camera. The way the bit ratio matches up to whichever mpeg codec dvd uses vs. blu-ray is for someone a little more video tech than myself. I venture to say that something shot in HD looks a lot better on a DVD than something that was not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maggie Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I just pre-ordered my copy with the tote bag! I'm wondering what people in my small town would/will think when they see someone carrying a bag with the phrase "Ashes of American Flags" on the side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
u2roolz Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Hey Everybody, I just prepurchased Ashes Of American Flags DVD. I got a mv4 of Monday which was awesome!! I don't want to sound like a complainer but I noticed something while watching Monday. It felt very claustrophobic and I thought it was ironic since this was the reason why they shelved the Kicking Television DVD. Right? Well, I am grateful to have an official LIVE Wilco DVD but when you look at it you can definitely tell that it's at a small venue and there's maybe 3-4 cameras to capture the action. Now I'm thinking that the reason was that it was too much in 2005 to release a live CD AND a DVD. It is nice to space things out. Maybe the other shows on this DVD are shot differently which I think is the case. Hey, I'm a happy camper. Onto the HD vs. DVD debate, well I found a nice link over Christmas that was an interesting and informative read. There's three main things about making Blu Ray fully worth it - I will paraphrase here and I know a lot of people know about this type of stuff but here I go- Tv Size - depending on how big the tv is makes a big difference (obviously lol)Tv Resolution 720p vs. 1080p - you need 1080p to fully appreciate every pixel for Blu RayTV distance to viewer - if your tv is too close, things will look pixellated and so on. http://reviews.cnet.com/720p-vs-1080p-hdtv/?tag=mncol;txt The link is up above if you want to skim through it. I went to college for film and learned about all that stuff and still find it tough to keep up with and argue with people about. Simply it's about one's taste for a television. Kristofor PS I just noticed some posts about Monday being available and some other stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
