It just goes to show how effective the hype is, from the digital video manufacturers, when even people I run into that know nothing whatsoever about moviemaking technology, think that all movies are now made digitally.
They look at me like I'm nuts when I tell them that 99.9% of every movie they've ever seen, and are distributed now, are shot on film.
This whole "film is dead" is just so much B.S.
It's not true now, and won't be for a loooooonnnggg long time.
It's like saying that the rainforest is all gone, or that the oil is all gone, etc.,
There have been so many other predictions that have come and gone...
Remember "virtual reality"? or better yet, "virtual sex"?
Nobody even uses these terms anymore, but a few years ago, you couldn't watch TV for 2 days without seeing some story on how life as we know it, or sex as we know it, was going to be totally changed because of this, and it's just so ludicrous.
When I'm asked why I don't shoot DV, I just say "DV is terrific in every way but one: it doesn't look good."
Of course, that's not entirely true. It's also bad in another way: Its inherently temporary archival ability.
With film, all you need is a light and a lens.
In 5 or 10 years, DV will be considered just as impressive as Hi-8 or 3/4 inch video is now.
Think about it...

Even if they were identical the guy paying ten bucks a minute will be composing better shots that the guy paying 2 cents [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">... if that's true, can you please tell me why 99.99999 percent of all movies professionally made are still shot on film?Quote:
