Digital media technologies changing the film business

[Archived in Digital Video Film, Entry]

Charles on 2002/11/22:

  „I was shooting on Spy Kids, and I had a film camera, and I brought the HD camera, and side by side, printed them both out to film — this isn’t even HD projected digitally, which is far superior; this is HD transferred to film — so I could see where HD fell apart, where it still needed to be fixed, where it was like video.

Shift to MiniDV

  „Even though our CreateSF and CreateLA projects are shooting on 16mm, Voice Films is a huge advocate of shooting in miniDV format. It™s cheaper and faster and it enables instant feedback on the set, especially if you are on a limited budget. A summary of an article from the Mini DV Festival provides a perspective on the shift to video from film in Hollywood.“
