Welcome to BigScreenBiz.com

What's this thing about digital. Looking through film magazines I see articles about digital this and digital that. I read articles that stated it is estimated that it would cost around $100,000 dollars to change over from optic to digital. How many of us could do that? We will be co-exhisting with digital for a long time yet. So lets see some other film information other then digital.

IMHO, film projection and digital projection will co-exist for a long time to come. Digital projection is evolving, and just beginning to develop standards. Here are links to information on Kodak's developments:

Read "The Future of Cinema" as seen by dozens of industry leaders:

Today "Film Done Right" is still the most cost-effective way of putting high quality images on theatre screens.

The public will get confused by all this digital talk: digital what?

Digital sound? Digital video? Digital logic? Digital this. Digital that.

Why pay to watch a video in a theater anyway?

Some of the public think digital means digital sound. Some even think digital means stadium seats! The mindset must be if it's digital it must be good. Yea right.
