Trivia:

The first live-action theatrical motion picture originated on digital high definition video for distribution and exhibition in 35mm film. Freddie Francis photographed the movie with the Sony HDC-500 digital high definition camera system. Following the successful completion of this ground-breaking 'experiment', Sony along with Panavision developed the next generation of this camera system, the HDW-F900 for George Lucas, which he utilized in the production of "Star Wars:Episode II-Attack Of The Clones".
