Is Digital Equally Good as Film?
Is digital equally good as film?
That question have I said to myself for a long time now without getting a proper answer… Until today!
The company Zacuto wanted an answer as well and took matters in their own hands. They called up some people, got together at the Skywalker ranch, did a large scale tests and shared to us (to the people around the world).
They’ve released the first Webisode out of three and the first one is approx 35 min long. Ok, you would probably say: “The quality will be compressed because it’s over the Internet and so on”. Yeah that’s true but the video is still in a very good resolution and you WILL definitely see the difference between digital an film.
When I saw the video I was convinced that digital had a long way to go before it would be in the same range as film, but man I was wrong. The digital evolution have evolved on a very fast phase, it wasn’t a very long time ago since we were only shooting with film.
The Great Camera Shootout 2010 is the name of the Webisode. Watch it, watch it again and you will be very impressed (I am anyway!).
