Review of Side by Side (2012) by Cameron M — 19 Apr 2014

A look at the film industry and the change from film to digital format. With a look at the process of filming from shooting, editing, colouring, and release.

While they do mention how digital images have increased significantly in the past few years with pixels, they still failed to mention how it currently compares to film. Another issue I had is they neglected to mention IMAX film. True IMAX (not digital IMAX, or fake IMAX cinemas) is still the best picture quality available, but with drawbacks related to used of film cameras.

Each format has their benefits and their drawbacks, and both have times when one would be the better option. The future of cinema is going to be a balance of image quality, story telling, art, and cost.
