Only the last one was, while the previous one was shot on film, with a great amount of digital art work added to the final cut. Also, the article states that film has twice as much information clarity than digital capture. Last I checked, digital was not that close. Seems like it should be much much deeper for film. All in all, a great read. Dave  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

IIRC, one or two scenes in Episode I were shot using the then-prototype Sony/Panavision digital camera system. The rest of it was shot on film. -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Mark Ogden Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 943 From: Little Falls, N.J. Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-31-2002 07:41 AM                     Aaron is quite right, there is in fact an HDCam scene in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. For those who have the DVD, it occures in chapter 17 at 49:53, where Liam Neeson is taking a blood sample of the kid out behind his home. It really sticks out, it's a nighttime scene and the contrast level drops dramatically, with the blacks quite compressed compared to the rest of the film.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-31-2002 09:23 AM                        FWIW, I have a Kodak DX3700 digital camera. It's very convenient and takes nice pictures. But for really important pictures, I still shoot FILM! http://www.kodak.com/global/en/digital/easyShare/dx3700/dx3700.jhtml  |  IP: Logged
