We're in the infancy of filmmaking as a medium, sure, but reality demonstrates that we're certainly not in the infancy of photochemical film as a negative format to capture the image.

Silent to sound, B&W to colour and even the invention of home media and entertainment were, absolutely, larger and more instrumental alternations to the history of film, but how that notions renders the film vs. digital debate as nonsense is well beyond me.

He fools us without losing visual integrity. I bet you didn't notice these effects when watching the movie.


Click on it. Because of privacy settings, you have to watch it on vimeo.

Being both subdued and effective when using the new tools digital film technology is offering us, has become an art by itself...
that's damn impressive! I didn't know there was so much green screen in that movie. I'd heard that some of the skies and lighting and weather effects had been added in post production but I had no idea that some of those buildings/interiors were sets.

See, this here is how special effects on digital film should be used, Finchers managed to create a warm environment at times, without becoming sterile like the Star Wars prequels.
