I always hear people/actors/directors say, this tape or film is x meters long, it is this size, etc. do they really still use physical film? If so why aren’t they using terabytes of storage in a way more compact form?

You are correct.
The figure I was given at art college was that a well exposed and developed 35mm negative had a minimum resolution of 90 million pixels, which is higher than 8K at ~75 million.

Is it just me, or does that not contradict the statement you said of “film doesn’t have infinite resolution”?
What? Not at all.
I’m saying we can already scan stuff at way beyond the resolution film is able to record, how is that mutually exclusive with there only being useful detail in the film up to a certain scale?
We wouldn’t need Ai just a way….
Yeah you contradicted yourself, that’s why I mentioned you would need Ai and infilling…

Well you’re definitely right about remastering/digitising old film…
But if Star Wars was done on old DV, Lucas wouldn’t have been able to digitally butcher it, so there’s that.
I dunno. I feel like he would have tried if there had been the same amount of public dissatisfaction with the originals as there was with the prequels.
He probably might have remade them… Give me chills thinking about it

Ergo, analogue for now still beats digital at the highest ends of the market. There’s no digital camera outperforming the analogue ones. I want some of them upvotes back!! 😤
