Using film was so much easier than the digital technology of today. But digital is still at the beginning of what it can be and they'll be fixing all those problems. It's just too complicated - negatives, tinting, flashing - it's a whole new system that takes a lot of time. Of course, it's not as physical. Even the editing.

Vilmos ZsigmondWhen we came to America, the movies here needed a "new wave." European films looked totally different than American movies, which were these lush, glossy pictures with this elaborate production design.
Vilmos ZsigmondI don't know the American photographers as well, but I admit I love Ansel Adams. His landscapes are so crisp.
