I'm not a big fan of pulling out my resume, but regardless here's a run down. I have worked for Digital Domain for nearly 10 years on the fx teams for films like Apollo 13, True Lies, Interview with the Vampire, The Grinch Who Stole Xmas, Terminator 2/3D, Titanic etc. I was the compositing supervisor (digital optical printing) on Red Planet and Vanila Sky and have won a few awards like a Clio for the theatrical spot for Adidas with the Mechanical Legs playing imaginary basketball. The last thing I did was a theatrical Nike spot that ran this July. It was called Speed Chain and featured a "relay" race between a runner, horse, train etc.The last two were directed by David Fincher and ran on something like 6000-8000 screens in the US. So, although I am not a world famous director (only a few unknown shorts), I do have a good grasp on the technology and a track record to be able to make the comment that HD is not really a replacement for film, regardless of what Rodrigues says.
