To me, the art of movies is to take a two-dimensional image and give the illusion of depth.
To me, the art of cinema is the same as the art of painting. The artist takes a 2D medium and gives you the illusion of depth. If you look at any of the great paintings, you have the illusion of depth. Which is part of the art. The same with the great movies.
The digital process gives me total control over how I want the film to look. The films look like they did when I was first looking through the viewfinder.
