Peter Owen

The strength of the film medium in the entertainment industry is constantly discussed as high-definition television systems gain prominence. It can be argued that film shows benefits both technically and economically for certain types of production, but in graphics and special effects the technique used lacks the technological assistance available to the television industry. Developments such as integrated digital post-production systems for television are clearly desirable for the film industry, but matching the perceived quality goals without sacrificing operational techniques poses certain challenges. As standardization proceeds for digital images, care must be taken to ensure that many levels of image resolution can be accommodated to offer operational flexibility.
