animations are |better on film because the resolution of "film" is inherently higher than a |monitor. Nevermind that the original source was a computer and a monitor |(clue for the morons, most "dance music" is mastered digitally now). Uh.... not quite. The resolution of film is higher. And animations done for film work are done at much-higher-than-video resolutions. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I think you missed his point. He wasn't talking about a tv-screen, he was talking about a high resolution monitor. Regardless of how much resolution you can get on film, it's not going to get any better than the original source output (the computer). Basically, he was saying that if the original recording is remastered digitally, you're not going to get any better quality if you put it on vinyl. Even if you do have a stylus that can read music down to the so-called "molecular level." This talk about laser stylus is pretty far out there as well. If you use a laser stylus (I hear the price has dropped down to about $20,000 now... bargain!) then you're converting the analog grooves in a record to a digital format before playback, and this is basically making a record into what a CD already is.
