The bottom line is HDTV, no matter format, 1080i or 720p, 24 frames per second or 60 frames per second, offers almost 5 times the detail of the standard NTSC analog picture most of us are familiar with. HDTV color saturation and picture depth are way beyond anything standard analog television has ever been capable of. For instance now, when you watch a basketball game on HD, you don't just see the players on a wooden floor, you see skid marks that the shoes have left on the floor, individual beads of sweat on the players' faces, and even the little dimples on the basketball! HDTV can also reproduce color and detail in dark shadowy areas where normal standard definition television only shows black. Thanks to its incredibly high resolution, big screen HD images remain crisp and vivid, not fuzzy and distorted. Watching standard definition analog television is like watching life through the driver side mounted rear view mirror on your car. Watching HDTV is like viewing life through an open picture window! This unsurpassed detail and realism of HDTV is why we're committed to producing all Brushfire Films projects in native High Definition Television. We want to take you with us wherever we go. The more you can learn and experience, the more you'll enjoy your visual journeys with us.

If you have any questions about HDTV or are have technical questions about how we are producing our projects, feel free to contact us.
