are bits film?
as the los angeles times reports, the academy of motion picture arts and sciences recently had to decide whether digital films should be eligible for the oscar®. more interesting is the discussion of how the shift to digital is wreaking havoc with how the various movie-related unions have defined various roles, and is stirring up the sag and aftra pot again.

I read this post and thought it was about computer generated movies like 'final fantasy' (forgetting that that would be defined as animation). the fact that sag and aftra are arguing over how to pay people depending on the type of camera being used speaks to just how screwed up those entertainment contracts are. and why can't these two unions just start over? never mind they merged almost ten years ago.
to me, unions seem counter productive anymore... </gross generalization>
