Ah, but TV directors are already tailoring their shows for the itsy bitsy screen, as the computer monitor will be considered the mega-display in the near future .. with the common display being the ipod and the Dick Tracy wristwatch.


Some movie directors have been tailoring their shots to the tv screen rather than the movie screen, for the DVD market that brings in more money than the theatrical. I recently read an interview with Steven Spielberg where he states his refusal to do this (noting that he also is one of the stalwarts who still edits non-digitally). He shoots for the giant screen, and admits that important detail will be lost on the small one.


I want my films shot for the 65-foot movie screen and my television shows shot for my 40" TV. When movies are shot for the 40" TV and TV is shot for the 2" ipod screen, it will be a sad entertainment-geek day. The future just got bleaker. How far behind can the Apocalypse be?
