We are down to semantics now. For years we've all been very
picky about video people calling their work film.
Even people that shot video and bumped it to film were
harassed for referring to their work as "film".
That worked for a while, until the motion picture industry started
loading their film onto computers and essentially making videos
instead of films. They still insisted that they were films because
the acquisition was still on film, and the final product was still film.
Now we have many of the Hollywood types shooting high definition
video, editing and doing all of their effects using electronic tools,
and in some cases even displaying their products in high
definition video, yet they still persist in calling it film.
The video folks just aren't taking it anymore. If the hot shots in
Hollywood can produce videos and call it film, then why can't
we all call our productions films, and call ourselves film makers.
It still isn't right, but fair is fair.
