Digital cinematography (first called ‘electronic cinematography’) was invented by Sony in the late 1980s and enjoyed little success in the beginning. Eventually, studios picked up on the trend after the introduction of the HD video recorders in 1998. These cameras could record images at 1920x1080, which produced a cleaner and higher resolution image than 35mm film. Sony went around showing various TV and movie studios a side-by-side comparison of 35mm film vs. digital HD video, eventually convincing studio heads that digital video was now a viable method. Today, most mainstream Hollywood movies are shot either partially or entirely digital.
