i just wanted to chime in on my dissapointment that even as of now none of the new pinoy films are released in HD.
It's such ashame! All the recent films you can tell are shot with HD cameras/equipment. Because even the DVD is authored nicely. But why do they limit it to only standard definition. The colors are vibrant and cinematography is fantastic, but the Pinoy Movie industry only wants consumers to see it in standard def crap!
WhY!?!? Sometimes DVDs are not even coded widescreen. Yea its wide, but in 4:3 with black bars on the bottom OMG! lol thats how pathetic it can sometimes be and the low of the post processing and authoriing when they release the film to DVD.
There are not enough recent pinoy action films to warrant multichannel digital surround sound (DD/DTS), but even the kilig movies can take advantage of the high quality digital surround sound. Would benefit as it being voie driven by a center channel driving the talking, and the rest to set the stage. ambient sounds, or during aprts with music. or when they are out in the beautiful environments.
it just seems like the pinoy movie industry is lazy. they bank on releasing the films in US theaters. of cours eonly pinoy populated cities. and release a crappy outdated DVD to make even more money. Where hollywood can release a bluray+dvd+ultraviolot (digital) copy of the latest blockbusters for $10. just like pinoys only thinking for short term, fast profits.
if they would release the bluray, and maybe places in the philippines try to expose or showcase HD quality to the people, more people would adopt it and see what they ar emissing that the REST OF THE WORLD has already been seeing for a DECADE+!!!!!!!!!
i swear a petition needs to be made and sent. dont the actors and actresses not want to see their work in HD? im sure they got nice quality big screen setups and surround sound. only to watch their movies go to dvd and its not even authored correctly so its a 4:3 ratio and only way to make it wide screen is to be able to have a dvd/bluray/computer able to overide ratio to make it proper aspect. an only 2.0 sound. WOW.
