Shooting ‘Star Wars,’ Bit by Bit.
The latest ‘Star Wars’ film was shot without any film at all. Instead, a special digital videocamera was used. By Eric A. Taub. [New York Times: Technology]
I wonder how different this type of digital video camera is from say the MiniDV format? I remember in Wired a few years back George Lucas talked about doing digital video using some kind of giant storage system. Tape definitely seems to me like it would be a lot more practical.
