Since ALEXA's entry into the film industry, every film to have won the Oscar® for Cinematography has been shot with the camera system. This year 80% of the films nominated in the Cinematography category were captured with ALEXA, as were 80% in the Visual Effects, 63% in the Best Picture and 60% in the Foreign Language Film categories.

Wow, only 80%.. and people have said "film is dead" for at least five years now. Clearly its not.
Last year it was close to 50%. Not exactly dead...

Oh well.

I think you are mistaken.. those aren't numbers for the entire digital camera industry, just Arri. And where did you read that film was dead? That's news to me.

It is down right shocking to me that youve missed all those discussions on this forum given that you are a mod. But then you are lucky, stay out of it and be happy.

Thanks for the friendly suggestion.

A camera's just a tool, whether film or digital. One is not inherently superior to the other. But there can be no denying the importance of digital: it's democratized filmmaking and enabled work to be seen around the world at the click of a button.
