Re: King Kong shot on film? Well...

"My understanding is that the actors were shot on film, but all the footage was transfered to digital video anyway for post-production work."


All the actors and practical sets were shot on film. Any shot that had any form of CGI is then digitally scanned, not transfered to digitl video and then transfered back to film after the CGI was added. If there was no CGI in a shot there was no need to digitally scan the image.


" So the finished movie was completely digital, which was then transfered to 35mm film for release to the theaters.'

Certainly much of it was scanned but all of it? Could be. It is done with many films these days. Not the same as shooting it on digital and certainly not the same as digital video.
