Another Filmmaker Makes the Case Against 4K and for HD

Majority users still watch SD, even on HDTVs

Ken Simpson is one of those “the best camera is the one you have in your hand” kind of guys. What gives Ken Simpson the street cred to rag on REDHeads and their obsession with ultra high definition (UHD) resolution? Well, Ken has the dubious distinction of being lauded as the director of the first film shot on the iPhone. But that isn’t really what gives his argument heft.  It’s the research he provides to say what Philip Bloom and Ryan Walters have been saying all along.  That 4K is a want, not a need.
