‘Nightly’ going HD next week
Cory Bergman March 18th, 2007
Apparently this high definition TV thing is starting to catch on. Next week, NBC Nightly News will become the first network evening newscast to switch to HD. And Discovery’s upcoming series Planet Earth will become the most expensive HD nature series to date with a cost of $1-2 million per episode (the promos look incredible, BTW.) Meawhile, three dozen local TV stations now broadcast news in HD.

Wired Magazine’s March 2007 edition has a great behind-the-scenes about Discovery’s Planet Earth. (”Brace yourself: Every hunt you’ve ever seen on a nature show has been a scam.”)
I hadn’t realized how much fakery went into the nature films we are used to - and what pains they took on this one to capture real life. Click my name for the link to the story and some video clips.
