This is amazing compared to what we have now there is no excuse not to have solid color correcting.

I think they like saying "Digital."

Interesting approach to getting "the look" the Cohen Brothers & DP had envisioned. I'm a real-film cinematography worker. I wonder if much of this look could have been gotten during the actual shooting, with sepia filters, specific film emulsion selection, and finally some alteration of the lab chemicals. I know that I am in a minority, but I will always prefer film filmmaking and the common HD video productions I do not consider "cinematography", it really just digital image capturing.

Interesting. I was watching “O Brother” last night on AMC’s Story Plus and one of the production notes mentioned that this was the first film to digitally alter the entire look of the film. Thanks for the upload.
