TVideo technology is advancing by leaps and bounds. It is now possible to shoot PAL Digibeta footage that transfers superbly to 35mm film, and the high-definition 24-frames-per-second video camera is a reality. So why shoot miniDV, the "prosumer" medium favored by both home-movie makers as well as the first wave of digital independents?

MiniDV both tempts and forces us to work in so many new ways that it becomes a new medium, distinct from both film and its higher-definition counterparts. When we aren't using miniDV to imitate film, it opens up new aesthetic possibilities. Equally important, it also offers us a way to rethink some of what is worst about how we usually make movies.
