Windsor Knot was shot in the new HDV format using the Sony HDV-Z1U camera.  It was shot in 1080i 50 (PAL) for later conversion to 24p. 

The program was edited on Adobe Premiere Pro using the CineForm Aspect HD wavelet codec.

Conversion to 24p was executed in After Effects.

Two minutes of test footage from the short was blown up to 35mm film by DV Film, Austin Texas, and Heavy Light Digital, New York.  The 35mm samples were screened in the Main Theatre at the North Carolina School of the Arts School of Filmmaking.  Three experienced film DPs were invited to view the screening and evaluate the overall quality of the craft, the HDV format, and the quality of the film transfer.  The results of this test will be published in DV Magazine (Jan, 2006).
