Just saw this over at the Star Trek website (Hello, my name is FTBoomer and I am a geek!): Come on BHN, get UPN on HD.
"Riding the wave of the digital age, the new season of Star Trek: Enterprise began production today (Thursday) with a whole new approach to shooting the show. The age-old familiarity of celluloid film has been replaced with high-definition digital video.
"Storm Front" is the name of the fourth-season premiere, picking up where the bizarre cliffhanger of "Zero Hour" left off. This morning scenes were shot in Sickbay, followed by the Bridge and Situation Room in the afternoon. The entire principal cast minus Scott Bakula reported to work (he comes in Friday).
Director of photography Marvin Rush has adopted the use of a Sony 900 digital camera, after conducting tests with it last week on the standing ship sets and some exteriors. Those tests proved that the new generation of high-definition video now easily rivals film in look as well as practicality. "
