Headspace Studios is where the
technology for Cognition Factor comes from. Back in the
1998, before digital cinema was a reality, Headspace Studios
began acquiring equipment to do just this. It could be said that
the dot.com boom not only funded this enterprise but nurtured it
and pandered to it as well. It's been ten years and we've come a
long way since those days. Today we work with quad core
computers and gigs of RAM. Our cameras are all HD digital and we
understand something about the landscape of formats.
So the story of Cognition Factor is also one of technology. Some
of the footage hails back to pre-digital formats of oxide betacam
tapes and 8mm tape, but most of the movie was shot using a Sony
S1-E HDV camera and all the footage was subsequently resized and
then digitally enhanced for editing in the HDV format. This was
done with the intention of releasing in the new Blu-Ray HD format
with 5.1 surround.
Unfortunately the HD war between Sony and Toshiba delayed the
launch of the HD product due to licensing complications with the
new Blu-Ray format. It is not possible to replicate or fulfill
through Amazon at this time, but we're working around this by
offering the movie in the BD-R (Blu-Ray writeable format) format
direct from the studio. Details of how to purchase the BD-R disc
will be announced on our purchase page and also on the forum.
