The SPOILERIFIC Ask Robert Wolfe Thread-The Series, in General

--- Quote from: MisterSkippy on April 18, 2007, 02:52:30 PM ---This hit me last night. I recently got HDTV at my home, and upgraded the DTV setup to accommodate that fact. Among the channels you get with the HD package is Universal HD, which is shows from the Universal line up. Ones I have notably caught were re-runs of Enterprise, and an episode of BSG, and an episode of SG:Atlantis.
I was wondering, was the series filmed in such a way that an HD rendition would be possible? What ratio was it actually filmed in? Things like that? I'm curious because whereas I havent bought into either of the HD formats for discs (HD-DVD v. Blu Ray), I would love to see the series in HD.

TDF was shot in super 16 then transferred to digital for post. We have a 16:9 aspect ratio, so we're very much HD friendly. you may see a bit of grain in certain situations, but that's part of our charm. =P

I so very fervently hope we get a 2nd season, and that we get to see more of Harry Dresden's world. Which I have grown to love. Good luck on 4400, and I so very much hope you will be coming back. I have written my letters, online and postal, and done what I could. I send love to all of you. And hope that sign on Harry's door won't be prophetic.

Thanks for the kind words and the positive thoughts! And that goes for everyone who's posted nice things here.

As someone who has been lucky enough to see samples of the HD version as aired by SkyOneHD in the UK, I'd say it scales up very nicely. Any grain that might be noticeable on occasion is no big deal. A lot of shows add that 'gritty' appearance on purpose. ;D

Returning to the issue of the series hewing to the novels was it just me or did anyone else get a distinct feeling that Second city bore an striking resemblence to "Fool Moon"? I mean instead of the wold belts you had the branding iron but the theme was much the same and the BI was a gift given to a cop by someone else...
Either way, I loved the ep and in fact, with only one exception, the entire first season...I didn't much care for Bad blood because it didn't have murphy in it. For some reason, this series really works with all three leads involved..nice chemistry between Mr. BlackStone and Ms. Cruz and nice chemistry between Mr. Blackstone and Mr. Mann (Who, IMHO steals every scene he's in.) Fabulous work on the part of all three.

Yet another question about Bob...
Can he go invisible? I know he hides whenever there's company that isn't supposed to know of proof of the supernatural or he'll go back through the wall to the lab or into his skull but Harry had him spy for him in Things that go bump and I'd like to know how he managed that without the Wardens spotting him peeking through a wall.
