Also, FoC, current gossip says that they'll get bumped either at WWDC (in June or July, I forget), or at Leopard launch, in October. I'd bet on WWDC.

Waste of money and effort. Cut out the middleman, my acquaintance.

Marginally if you do it right, and really only if you know what you're looking for. The benefits of digital outweigh the drawbacks for smaller productions, which is what you're going to be working on at first, bub.

Post by: FlameOfCallandor on May 17, 2007, 12:43:43 AM: I disagree it takes a $500,000 digital camera to look as good as a $5000 film camera. I shoot on super 16mm and have a higher resolution than HD and better color latitude. 90% of films are still shot on film as are a majority of tv shows.

Digital can get better color latitude by editing it in software later I believe.
