Film Journal 3/10

I mentioned Zodiac last time, so I thought I’d follow up by mentioning that Zodiac is indeed the first film to be shot on digital and send directly to a hard drive. No tapes involved. Films shot in HD are not a new phenomenon obviously, but most feature films shot that way are shot on tape, but this was the first one to go directly to a hard drive.

I find this interesting because at work (KU Media Productions) we shoot most of our footage, especially the High Def stuff, onto an external hard drive called the FireStore, and it works really well. I suppose this is the future of cinema here.
