Or using a digital camera to "film" a movie or "film" a video.
To think that in the early 1970's, it cost about $5 for a cartridge of super-8 movie film that lasted about 5 minutes at normal speed, and cost about $10 to develop. About $3 a minute, in 1970's money. Now a $15 memory card can record hours of video, with synchronized sound. And can be edited easily without literally chopping up the original and literally taping the ends together. Not to mention being able to copy the original without any loss of quality.

I wonder if, while editing digital video, they still talk about "splicing" pieces together?

Okay, I've been going to church most of my life and I still don't get it. "Leia shooting pews"? "Princess blasting pews"?

The "pew" is the sound of the blaster...."Pew Pew"
Thinking outside the box is normal for me. Went inside the box once and got claustrophobic.
Can't never did!
