Why play against one medium’s weaknesses against another’s strengths? Both film and video can be used effectively in storytelling, commercials, corporate and other productions. Then putting the Mahatma up against Don Knotts in a pale blue jumpsuit would sort of cancel each other out.)įirst, video shouldn’t try to look just like film, just as film can never look just like video. (I probably should have used "Three’s Company" as my video example. Even a whining Fran Drescher looks better than a skinny old guy in a big diaper. Well, there’s no doubt that "Gandhi" looks better than "The Nanny." I’m talking about the productions, not the actual people.
They say film just looks better than video. These film purists generally base their disdain for video on purely emotional justifications.
No matter how far the quality of digital and high-definition video have advanced over the past few years, a vocal group of critics continue to cry out, "But it will never look like film!"
