it doesnt matter what movies it was used in... the only way to give software a bad name is to be ignorant on how to use it. truth is they are all the same in what they produce. you just need to know how to get what you want out of the software you use.

Truth is people use...

Video... Not pictures... thats the whole point of interlacing. And why it was needed because of how a TV is constructed, google is your friend it has all that stuff.

RE: Multiple Cameras or Single Camera

you need to look at this professionally... More cameras will limit your camera shots but you will be able to have multiple angles of good takes. One camera gives the actor more time to be in front of camera while its being setup you can work out what you want in shot blah blah but it will take a hef...
