I've been downloading movies off the Internet for a while now, and it's just amazing. It's changing so fast that I don't think people even have a chance to figure out how it's going to affect everything. For me, I'm not shooting film anymore. I'm shooting my next film Hi-Definition. And it's a lot easier to use than film.
Film is just so archaic now.
With film, every time you want to make an effects shot you have to scan the film in and out, and you have to deal with all of the grain. Even if you're using bigger lights and a tighter grain, it still has bugs all the way through it. With film it's a big clunky reel, it's always running out, and then there's lab costs through the roof. With HD, you can basically shoot a movie on what looks like a BetaCam and the end result will look better than anything showing in the theatres right now. And they're getting smaller.
