Gregory,
320×200 you bet! Lots of work is still done at that res at 256 colours and
other vga resolutions like 640x480x16 colours (although I haven't done any 16
colour stuff). Many games and vga graphics/animations. The Video for Windows
crowd is all excited about 320×240 resolution now.
I know that when I started with r1 I hated 320×200 and yearned for higher. Then
I did 640×480 flics and I yearned for more colours so I started doing 3/4"SP
and then BetaSP work and now I realise frame-by-frame work is full of pitfalls
and doesn't really pay well enough to compensate for the aggrevation and the
equipment required to pump out the high resolution required. Now, I'm happy to
do low-res work and I can make decent money doing it. I tend to steer clear of
video work now unless it can be recorded in realtime.
