Television has been trying to grow up and be a projection medium since its inception. With the advent of digital, the little box of light and shadows has finally gotten its big boy pants and even whipped its big brother, film, to take over supremacy in the theatrical world.
great read !!!
To suggest that video has whipped film is incorrect. Film still outclasses video in many aspects – definition, no aliasing, archive-ability, backwards compatibility, permanence and the list goes on.
