: Be aware that the digital footage will NOT match the film footage at all- if you're going for this type of stylistic contrast, then good.
Thanks, Vincent. I was trying for a different look, in order to create a frenetic pace to some of the scenes.... But the big question is whether or not it will detract from the moment itself.
: As for cost issues, the digital footage will have to be transfered to Super-16 film in order to be cut into your negative, and this is costly.
I guess this is where I will run into a snag. I figured that it would be cost effective to shoot in digital vs. film for the scenes that require many angles and larger numbers of takes. The action/fight sequences I visualized took into account the potential for leveraging the multiple takes and angles that I could afford to do in digital. It sounds like it will be cost prohibitive to do the transfer, however.
hmmm...
