    Good news for those of us who think digital video is the work of the devil.
    The major film studios – Disney, Fox, Paramount, Sony, NBC Universal and Warner Bros – have all made agreements to keep buying a certain level of film from Kodak in the coming years. Exact amounts and timeframes have not been disclosed. The company is now seeking to secure similar agreements with independent studios, and with TV companies.

    Any devil who democratizes the hugely expensive art of filmmaking, while making it possible for anyone (with talent, drive and a Digital camera) to make a film...well, they're a good devil in my book.

    film is still great, but think of the films released in the last 10 years that most likely wouldn't have been made if not for the advent of digital film making,

    it reduces cost and shoot time massively, unless you apply a lot VFX in which case it increases post production massively:)

    that scene from 28 days later was the first kinda of big deal in digital film making, they set up a few cameras as he walked through the barren street if london, and it only took a few takes, so disruption to traffic was kept to a minimum,
