Learn what HD, 2k, and 4K sizes exactly are.

If you have ever wondered what High Definition( HD ), 2k, or 4k means, then look no further. A lot of clients will always ask us to shoot in HD, while not realizing that we may shoot in what is actually a much larger resolution. At the end it will most likely always be knocked down to 1920×1080(actual high def). On Creative Cow John Galt explains what all of this means-this also shows you just why we(production companies, directors, etc) do not suggest skimping out on your budget. In other words, you pay for what you get.
