Digital BW, The Print

"The Man who Wasn't There" was shot by Roger Deakins. He shot "Shawshank 
Redemption", and "O Brother Where Art Thou" as well as many other fine films. 

"The Man Who Wasn't There" was photographed on color negative film, then 
scanned into a computer and the color was removed. The technology is now 
there for filmmakers and cinematographers to make all color corrections in 
the digital relm then output to film for presentation in theaters. "O Brother 
Where art Thou" was done in the same way. Shot very straight, with no 
diffusion on the lens in the middle of summer in the south, then scaned into 
a computer and the green grass changed to gold and yellows. 
Exciting times for everyone in the imaging business these days.
Lucas' nest Star Wars installment - shot entirely on 24P (digital video) with 
a film output.
