It's happened to almost everyone. You line up your subjects just perfectly in frame for that once-in-a-lifetime snapshot. When you get the film back from the developer, you notice that the person on the left is caught mid-blink. If only you had seen what you captured at the time you snapped the picture...

While digital cameras have helped the amateur photographer, they've radically upended the guesswork of modern moviemaking. Gone is the alchemy and photochemical uncertainties of shooting film that would not be developed for hours -- or even days. Thanks to the precision HD cameras and their big-screen plasma feeds, the director and everyone on the crew could see Episode III as it happened.

So pull up a chair to Video Village, the place where the action unfolds in pristine high definition clarity, and watch the making of Episode III.
