" a discerning eye can tell the difference between a single frame shot on HD or 35mm"
If i can spot the diffrences your telling me cinematographers will not? huh.
I posted this in the indy IV thread because I was relieved spielberg stepped in and said no HD, were going to shoot this the old fashioned way. Hopefully he can also stop the additions of unusually fake cgi, but who knows now that the physical effects unit has been sold off. perhaps then can hire the services of the lucasfilm employee, or ilm'er it was sold to.
film is'nt any good right so we may as well throw out star wars or raiders of the lost ark, or empire strikes back, , because those old fuddy duddy cinematographers shot them on film. while were at it lets add in wizard of Oz, casablanca, gone with the wind, ben hur, and lawrence of arabia. how about the ten commandements, or spartacus?
most of lucas friends shoot on film and will not shoot on HD despite his trying to make them. Ron howard, Robert Zemeckis, steven spielberg etc.
the older cinematographers will refuse to use HD, so I guess we must throw them away like rubbish and bring in the new kids who are willing to shoot on an unproven technology.
by the way i'm not attacking you or challenging you thecassidy, your opinions are your own as are mine.
But i will challenge mr. lucas for his decisions any day of the week, he ruined star wars period. Not only that but he insulted the filmakers and technicians by pretending the oot did not exist for years. Then he craps all over them again releasing the movies they worked on as bonus material on a shoddy non anamorphic dvd.
I believe history should be preserved and those technicians should be honored not just replaced by cgi or swept under the rug, by someone who prentends there work to be his own even if they were his employees.
