ORIGINAL: jmarkham ORIGINAL: TerryJames They most certainly cannot do "more" than an analogue console, no more than cgi can do more than a real car chase. Look at the crappy car chase scenes in "XXX" with Ice Cube. It's pathetic! Obviously, the Director has never driven a real race car, or been in any high speed chase. A Lotus with a 427? I've driven one; the moviemakers obviously have not. The thing would be in pieces on those railroad tracks, not negotiating them or bouncing sidewise in midair. The car can't do it, and the film looks "phoney." The previous "XXX" with Vin Diesel, looks real because a real Corvette went over the canyon. Digital just can't cut it when it comes to "reality." .... this is an imperfect analogy at best. while you could analogize (pun intended) the benefits of film vs. DV (as compared to tape vs. digitial audio), digital audio doesn't synthesize music any more than analog tape synthesized "switched on bach" synthesis done badly in any medium is well ... bad .... i believe Ed Wood's movies were all "analog" .. had awesome special Fx too .. jeff
