its interesting to see and hear how film and digital were/are used.
how digital is seemingly replacing film.

now if digital is a beter format is not up to me BUT film should still be an alternative.
it should not go away because its just to different from digital to be let go off. digital and film both have their ups and downs but at the end its up to the film maker as to which one they are gonna use.
personal i use my phone to make footage so yes i am part of the digital film making space.
i do think filming digitally is easy but you also have to heavily alter the image until you get a good image, as with allot of films shot digitally nowadays, they don't look good at all.
also let scorsese talk for 3 hours thank you.
