"We had a day of HD shooting on our set a few weeks back, and we estimated it took 25% longer to shoot in that format than in our normal Super 16mm. Time is a major factor in economics, and economics drive the film industry."
i'm hearing the opposite. HD is saving approx 20% time. most of the production using HD are doing for COST and TIME ...
had this project that took 25% longer used HD before ?
"The day that a digital system is capable of matching the subtle tonality, flexibility and beauty of a film-originated image, that will be a huge achievement."
IMO this is where many have it WRONG ..digital doesn't have to equal/match FILM it just has to look good enough to SELL and make those paying persons sitting in theaters THINK Digital is better - MARKETING will take care of that end .. the MASSES can't tell ( IMO don't really care) the difference between 24P (as in star wars) vs. FILM (star wars ) .... bottom line if george had shot FILM it would NOT have sold more tickets.
