Hollywood Confronts the Digital Revolution --McIlroy

There's a wonderful article in the August 11 edition of The Wall Street Journal called "Engineering Blue Skies" (you need an online subscription to grab this from The Wall Street Journal Website, but if you do a Google search, you'll often find articles posted on secondary Websites without charge.)

The article covers a new trend in Hollywood—that of converting feature films from silver halide to digital, in order to use digital tools to improve the images, and then converting them back to film for theater viewing. For anyone in the printing industry who has lived through the shift to digital imaging, the article is a touch of nostalgia.
