Analog film photography and cameras

film/digital blah blah blah
my book has been shot on 10x8 5x4 6x6 12.5/16/22/30/39 mpixel cameras, they all print perfectly at A3 and you can't tell the what has been shot on what camera.
all this theorising is just armchair waffle
i don't know any photographer who still shoots film (advertising/design). the main reason is because of time and money. no more huddling round a polaroid, the client and photographer can see the results immediately on screen, no 2 hr wait for a film test and no waiting to strike a set because you haven't got the film back from the lab, it's more productive and is easier if you are shooting complex comps and/or have to put a quick comp together for a client, the days of cutting up polaroids to see if stuff fits together are over (TFFT)

and as for the film industry they run a digital workflow for editing/grading, do you really think they sit at a steinbeck editing desk with reels of film and sellotape? no it's all done digitally.
and as for shooting on film? check out the Red camera http://www.red.com/ that is the future of shooting movies.

Funny you should mention Red - I was talking to Jonaent (Jon) only this evening about Red - in the context of cost/workflow when filmmaking.

• Agree with pretty much everything you say here. A lot of this reminds me of the analogue/digital argument with regards to music making, hoards of people making the case for one side or the other, and much of the argument for either side valid, meanwhile somewhere someone is knocking out fantastic songs oblivious and indifferent to what they are making it on.
