    • Abstract:
      When it comes to the different types of media one can use to shoot a movie, Andrew Mudge, a moviemaker leaves no doubt as to what his preference is. "I consider myself a filmmaker, and I hope to always make movies on film," he says. Despite all bias, he acknowledges that digital video has its advantages, especially in terms of ease of use and cost during production and postproduction phases of moviemaking. During his participation in the Chrysler Million Dollar Film Festival, Mudge got to explore these advantages in detail, given that the festival's organizer, Hypnotic, a production and distribution company made digital video the medium of choice. According to Nicolas Karlson, senior director of production at Hypnotic, the decision to use digital video technology was based in part on the feeling that exposing the participants to new types of digital production and postproduction processes was in keeping with the overall cutting-edge flavor of the competition.
