for someone who doesn't even like movies i sure do think it's funny to call them all "films"
@monorail What is the difference between "movie" and "film"? Do some commercial movies get recorded on something that isn't film?
@vaporeon_ @monorail almost all modern commercial filmmaking uses digital cameras these days
@aescling @monorail For real? So commercial movies are also just recorded to SD card or something similar? As an amateur, of course I'd use a camera that records to SD card, but I'd expect commercial movies to actually record it to film...
@sidd_harth0_5h4h keeps talking about watching movies from 35mm film in the cinema, and for that to be possible, the movies need to have been filmed on film, right?
@vaporeon_ @monorail @sidd_harth0_5h4h red cameras (a brand of flagship digital cameras that definitely get used in purrofessional settings) use whatever the fuck https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFexpress is fur storage
anyway, yes, [they] are purrobably watching older films that were filmed on film, or maybe niche indie films
@vaporeon_ @monorail @sidd_harth0_5h4h or maybe transfurs onto 35mm of films originally shot digitally. who knows. maybe that exists
@vaporeon_ @monorail @sidd_harth0_5h4h actually, now that i say that out loud, i don’t think that’s too weird; some theaters have (had?) held onto their old 35mm film purrojectors fur a good while and i’m pretty sure 35mm versions of very modern digitally shot movies were being created as a result
