This is from a recent review of "Session 9" by the Orange County Register:

quote:
Shot on the Sony CineAlta 24P HD camera - which George Lucas is reportedly using on the next "Star Wars" movie - the film does boast a better-than-average video image. The action's seasonal background is autumn, and director and co-writer Brad Anderson is able to capture the colorful New England foliage and the creeping early dusk with much more efficiency than with any video camera heretofore used.
But the technology's nagging problems persist. High- definition the process may be, but the images it produces still tend to deteriorate. Colors bleed into and smudge one another; characters seem to hover over or in front of the backgrounds; and there's the visual equivalent of an electronic hum that distances us from the supposed reality of the action.

For the whole review:

Be careful George, "The critics are watching..."
