I respect his opinion but I never want to work with digital. Not on a professional shoot at least. I really feel like digital is something that was best left for the amateurs simply because it makes shooting so damn easy and it was so damn cheap. And it has really cheapened the product. Movies shot and projected digitally have ruined any incentive for going to the movies because it has made the experience more similar to watching a movie on your computer or TV than they ever should have been. To me nothing beats the range of film because it looks so much better in its own raw, unedited state than digital does before the edits. And because it is real and you actually physically hold and touch it it automatically has more value than a hard drive. And it just impossible to fall in love with something that only exists as a digital file.
