BSG is HD

“During the miniseries, we established the aesthetic for Battlestar Galactica, and that was done on film,” he says. “We wanted a documentary-style quality and a gritty look in keeping with that. So we were pushing grain and making depth of field as shallow as we could and doing lots of handheld, long-lens work. So, going into the series, from what I knew about HD, which was admittedly limited, I had a concern that it would not be conducive to applying this sort of documentary aesthetic.


- Michael Rymer on shooting Battlestar Galactica on HD in "Breaking the Comfort Zone", an interesting article in Millimeter on both Enterprise and BSG shooting HD.

Wow. I really didn't think that BSG was shot on HD - perhaps the only stuff which really gives it away is all the Caprica exteriors... but its so heavily processed, that I just thought crushed their highlights cause they weren't working with film scans...
