Movies & Film

The evolution of film and video has evolved so greatly that people in this day in age can do it off of our ever so cheaply made cell phone. In the 50's and 60's someone was spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on equipment to do something "different". Then, it was a very expensive hobby only to see how it became easily done.
The transformation from the 50's films of the skunk in black and white and out tuned audio to our ever so perfect video's that create an augmented reality.

I love the old fashioned movies, only to see and know how simple it really looks to know how simple it was not. I find it very cray how fast technology has grown over 50 years, the fastest growing thing ever.
It went from "We can finally do this!!! to " This can be done this way" to " What else can we add?" to "How can we enhance this to get more viewers" to " All the families in the US have VHS! Yeah!" to "Oh, you got your VHS? Now go get a DVD" to " Nope, your DVD does not play in this blu-ray player" to just simply trying to create the way it can be done.
