been on plenty of shoots both film (though no film recently)and digital and sat in on grades and edits a very good friend is head of digital services at Deluxe (soho film lab) so something that i have had conversations about not a scoblefact i read on the internet somewhere.
film is now done out in middlesex. basically film was moved to one site after the merger and people lost there jobs.
fair comment on the primes but the mitchels although a relic to some they were in use a few days a week up until recently. as for 'who' all i'll say is a DOP with his own kit who has done features and a lot of ad work both here and abroad.
Edit: a quick google shows 3 places in london to hire a Mitchell s35R so still a need for them (however small)
