@iandud3 Change Can be the worst thing on earth for example Dont use a boat across the pacific swim instead its CHANGE! Digital is too perfect and make too many films loose there humanity

[iandud3]

@Dalek1230 are you even in the film industry? And I don't think ive seen a micheal bay film that was shot digital. you dont know me but i like to shoot everything in principal photography that i can. the medium that you shoot in has nothing to do with the kind of film that you shoot. you, and people like you, are just afraid of change. that's it. you'd realize it's not the camera that you use, it's how you use it. there are many ways to tell a story.

@iandud3 incorrect jackson has made 3 films of any notablilty, spielburg has made dozens and the cinematography in close encounters, in Et and in private ryan all came from film. Digital is too perfect and it was digital that ushered in this age of micheal bay and CGI. Film is about telling a simple story. You Sir Are Wrong!

@Dalek1230 i love film. but there's nothing wrong with advancing technology. do you know how much it costs to shoot 35mm? it would cost you 100 grand and you don't even get to keep the camera. Red, and companies like it, simply make it easier and more cost effective to make films, so that not just people like Spielburg can make a film. Digital is taking over. There's no question. And like Peter Jackson said, "If your going to replace film, the Red makes the perfect image to do it with."

[Dalek1230]

@iandud3 Congrats your one of the people who are killing film, if it was good enough for Hitch, for Coppolla, For Spielburg , Then Hell Its Good Enough For You. There Is A Magical Presence About Film, When You Shoot On It, When You Cut It, And When You Show It, That Digital Can Never Have.

@Dalek1230 you know it's funny since I posted this I've went far in the film industry, and now i have a 100 thousand dollar movie camera. and guess what, it's digital. It's a red one actually. and it shoots in 4.5k (higher than super 35mm film). And it's better in low light. and looks amazing. google it haha my camera is amazing. much better then 16mm film

[Dalek1230]

@iandud3 digital is a load of shit for whats shot at 2k is 2k forever whereas we can scan film in at higher resoultions every couple of years

[iandud3]

Infact ( i meant to say this in the last comment) digital is actually becoming better than film.

Bet you've never even heard of 5k, huh? well, to get a comparison , High Definition is 2k. But they got digital cameras (like the RED) that can shoot up to 5k.

You better believe it. crazy stuff.

[iandud3]

Keep with the times kid.

all the new star wars movies were filmed with digital. Curious case of Benjamin Button was digital. District 9, Angels and Demons, Zodiac, Supernan Returns, Knowing, I now pronounce you Chuck andLarry, Slumdog Millionaire, AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.

I bet you couldn't even tell that any of these films were digital, could you?

yeah take that "thumbs down" off, I'm right.
