Even movies are changing

While I was home over the break, the News had a breaking story that technology is even changing the way movies are being made and presented.

The movie "300" is the primary example of technology changing what we will see from now on in the movies.

There were several scenes throughout the movie where the actors were not even on the set while the movie was being filmed, but technology gave the actors the ability to film anyway. One of the actors was in another country but still had the ability to film his scene by performing it on a set where he was and sending it via email to the directors back here in the states. The directors then simply added it into the rest of the film where the scene was meant to be.

It is amazing that this was able to happen, but frightening to me all at the same time. Technology is doing so much and I don't want it to take over everything. Especially movies.
