Just because it is "the web" doesn't mean you can lower your production

values. Crap always looks and sounds like crap. Which part of "the web"

allows for low-quality production? And what exactly do you mean by "lower

resolution"? PC monitors have higher DPI and better colour resolution than

TVs. Are you talking about the need for compression of web-borne video? I

suggest you watch any Sorensen encoded movie trailer.


The savings you cite of desktop editing and DV cams are symptomatic more of

technological advances in the capabilities of those apps and devices than

any restrictions of "the web". Whilst these developments do indeed reduce

costs, enough TV and cinema is already produced using these things to prove

that poor quality cannot be excused by a misplaced low-rent ideal of the

internet.
