It's seductive, half the cost of 35mm! A couple of things get in the way. A Digital Intermediate of any quality adds a quick $100k to the budget. Ouch! At the other end, you MUST do a filmout, because archiving digital is a joke. I expected it to be more than film, but TWELVE TIMES more? Film just sets on a shelf in a limestone cave, and it's good for a century. Digital cannot be stored this way. The whole Earth is constantly working to demagnetize your master. Hard drives archive well for about 2 years! After that, it's copy copy copy as the years roll by. Ridiculous.

Isn't it great how a film camera manufactured 70 years ago can defy obsolescence, while a brand new digital video camera is yesterday's news in a few months, and gives inferior images.
