Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

The yeah yeah yeah is meant in a sardonic tone.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

What I don't get is this stuff has always been around, they were called polaroid BW or polaroid color prints, and they showed off the contrast beautifully. It's a myth to say that you don't know how the film will look until you get it back from the lab. Barring a lab problem, you CAN know what your film will look like by shooting polaroids.

sheesh.

Here is a quote from Alan Daviau from another article by the same author...

-----------------------------

Allen Daviau, ASC, DP on such classics as E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and Bugsy was a little more cautious: "Stay calm, it's coming; it's a new tool. It's great that we have this tool. It's good for some things right now, and it's not good for others."

As a DP, I always feel it's the cinematographer's job to act as guardian of the visual image. In my own interview for the documentary (representing the independent portion of the cinematography spectrum), I sought to remind everyone that, "Digital is not a replacement for film, but rather just another tool that can be selected for the right job."

And here is another quote from that second story...

Jim Hannafin, Senior VP of FotoKem adds, "With the constant change in technology from digital capture to digital storage, the one constant that comes back year after year after year is film and it doesn't change. It is the standard that societies that deal in the preservation world recommend for archival purposes."

The author of the article was nice enough to communicate with me. I'm curious as to how Alan Daviau uses HD.

This link talks about the television monitor as being a possible hinderance to the DP getting what they really want.
