    Good read admin, I found this part interesting.

    The advantages of digital are clear. The digital high-definition format allows filmmakers to record hundreds of megabytes of data per second with a resolution of at least 720-1080 lines, compared to regular TV at 486-576 lines. And the latest digital projectors can read those pixels from a hard drive and project them on a screen. The quality is pristine every time, without the degradation, dirt or scratches that marred the traditional 35mm print screened at cinemas.
    I watched a program recently about the massive hard drives used to store all the digital film while shooting a movie. The tools and options for editing are amazing, but of course it cost loads of $$$$$$$$.
