Walt Loevy
I began videotaping trains on Colorado's Denver-Pueblo Joint Line in December 1985, with an RCA VHS camcorder. Since then I have filmed trains throughout Colorado, throughout much of the United States, and briefly in England. For many years I used a Panasonic AG-450 Super-VHS “Reporter” camcorder. For the last twenty years, I have been filming using a Canon GL-2. Why have I not upgraded to something more contemporary? The primary reason is that I like filming in the standard definition (4:3) aspect ratio, as opposed to high definition (6:9). Folks think that high def makes the screen larger by expanding the left and right sides. Instead, I think high def cuts off the top and bottom of the screen. Go to any IMAX theatre. Look at the dimensions of the screen. It’s 4:3! I also really like Canon’s GL-2. My passion is for Colorado and Southwest railroads, for the beautiful scenery that they traverse. Much of my latest work has concentrated there.
