...Those who prefer film over digital images should awaken from their chemically induced haze! Digital is faster, cleaner, more versatile and incredibly fun to work with. In the hands of a true cinematographer, digital moviemaking exhibits all the soul, humanity and feeling of a production shot on film. None of those attributes are inherent in film alone but are rather created by the person whose eye is at the viewfinder.
