In 1998, with the introduction of HDCAM recorders and 1920 × 1080 pixel digital professional video cameras based on CCD technology, the idea, now re-branded as 'digital cinematography,' began to gain traction in the market. Feature at the Santa Barbara Film Festival in 1998. The film, transferred to 35mm negative for theatrical release, won Best U.S.

The offline editing ( Avid) and the online post and color work (Roland House / da Vinci) were also all digital. The first digitally filmed and post produced feature film was Windhorse, shot in Tibet and Nepal in 1996 on a prototype of the digital-beta Sony DVW-700WS and the prosumer Sony DCE-VX1000.

The Digital High Definition image was transferred to 35mm negative via electron beam recorder for theatrical release. Shot entirely with Sony's first Solid State Electronic Cinematography cameras and featuring over 35 minutes of digital image processing and visual effects, all post production, sound effects, editing and scoring were completed digitally. Rainbow (1996) was the world's first film utilizing extensive digital post production techniques. However, this led to one of the earliest high definition video shot feature movies, Julia and Julia (1987). īeginning in the late 1980s, Sony began marketing the concept of ' electronic cinematography,' utilizing its analog Sony HDVS professional video cameras. The CCD was followed by the CMOS active-pixel sensor ( CMOS sensor), developed in the 1990s. Following the commercialization of CCD sensors during the late 1970s to early 1980s, the entertainment industry slowly began transitioning to digital imaging and digital video over the next two decades. The first practical semiconductor image sensor was the charge-coupled device (CCD), based on MOS capacitor technology. The basis for digital cameras are metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) image sensors. Some filmmakers still prefer to use analogue picture formats to achieve the desired results. Many vendors have brought products to market, including traditional film camera vendors like Arri and Panavision, as well as new vendors like RED, Blackmagic, Silicon Imaging, Vision Research and companies which have traditionally focused on consumer and broadcast video equipment, like Sony, GoPro, and Panasonic.Īs of 2017, professional 4K digital film cameras were approximately equal to 35mm film in their resolution and dynamic range capacity however, digital film still has a different look from analog film. Since the mid-2010s, most movies across the world are captured as well as distributed digitally. As digital technology has improved in recent years, this practice has become dominant.

Digital cinematography is the process of capturing (recording) a motion picture using digital image sensors rather than through film stock.
