Having 100% control of everything visible on screen, from stuff that shouldn't
be there, to exact performances, to other camera angles for these exact
performances is a pipe dream for most novie directors I guess.  You can only
achieve that with 100% digitized stuff ready for easy digital tweaking when
needed.  Why wait for a great sunny day to shoot when your digital sun and blue
sky look better with no sign of smog?

It's an irreversible future, I think.  Simply recording the images was just the
primitive beginning...
