The main problem today being presented wrongly by companies is that digital is the same quality as film, which is not true. Just look at the numbers: any film, at minimum, has a resolution of 6k; today, the Cine-Alta, what they call the high definition 24p, is less than 2k, so it's one third of the information. In film, from black to white, you can have hundreds of different tonalities, and on tape, you have one third. And as for color, film is able to release around 32 bits, and with the new digital technology, there's a maximum of 8 to 10 bits. This is a major difference. When they show tests, they're showing clips that usually don't have good light. And they transfer film to tape, so they're taking film quality to tape quality, and every video projector uses 8 bit. So you don't see where you come from, so of course, they look the same.
iW: So is this evolution or de-evolution?
Storaro: We should use it. But we should be aware of it. Any film that is specific to television would be fine. If somebody would present to me something only for television, it's good to use the Cine-Alta camera, because you can never read more information than that 2k. For intimate, psychological projects, done on low budgets, which will be presented in small screening rooms in a multiplex, they can definitely be done on digital video, because from the beginning, there is not the will to reach that kind of depth into the visual world.
But we should also be able to make epic pictures on film, like "2001" or "Lawrence of Arabia" or "Apocalypse Now" or "The Last Emperor." Those projects need a big canvas, because the drama is also the conflict between something very intimate and something very epic.
