“When we digital artists talk about painting on the computer, that is exactly what we do. The paints we use are pixels, the brush we use is a pressure sensitive pen. The colors are the same as painters use, and how we get to the final image is the same gut wrenching way.” WayUseArtistColorPaintingComputerPressurePaintFinalsPainterSensitiveGutsDigitalPensBrushesPixels Author:Donald Lambert

“I think crossing into the digital age is the big move for the industry. I think it will be the biggest thing that's happened while I've been making movies.

“I was shooting lots of large format portraits then but I've since changed to digital, where you have so much more control.

“Traditionally, digital projects, when you project them, they get really washed out. It's complicated stuff with gamma, but basically your blacks get very milky and the colors get very weak, and we made so many different versions of it to just pump more color into it, so it would look just as good in the theater as it does on your screen at home. And color was my constant whine. It needed to be very oversaturated.” LooksDoeMadeDifferentHomeStuffColorNeededProjectsWeakTheaterConstantComplicatedScreensVersionsDigitalGet RealPumps Author:Don Hertzfeldt
“You cannot do everything you want with the 3D camera, it's too big, and the digital quality of those cameras is a little bit limiting. With film, you have a lot more subtly, like with highlights and color. In terms of sharpness they (both formats) are very close; but in terms of nuance, of color and contrast, film is far superior.” WantLittlesBigsFilmBitsTermQualityColorLittle BitCamerasSuperiorsDigitalContrastFormatNuanceHighlightsSharpness Author:Michel Gondry

“In the digital world we live in, there is no pixel who thinks they're better than any other pixel. And there is no pixel that will not work with another pixel to produce something. And when two pixels come together and have children, they'll place any attention to what the color is and nobody says anything.” ThinkingWorldChildrenTwoTogetherAttentionProduceColorDigitalSay AnythingDigital WorldPixels Author:Lawrence Weiner
“The whole switch from film to digital has changed some of the ways I use color and the juxtaposition of light and dark. It's getting better with digital, the separation's gotten better, but I still feel like it's really flatter than film, so I do a lot of screening and subtle textural printing and painting on clothes for film to get it not to look flat.” WayFeelsLooksStillsWholeUseLightFilmDarkChangedColorPaintingClothesSeparationGet BetterSubtleDigitalFlatsPrintingScreeningLight And DarkJuxtaposition Author:Colleen Atwood
