- 2. Digital video When film first came around it was all analog and used physical film which was light sensitive. A old film camera would have a large box sat on top which would have the film tape and would move it from one reel to another. Digital film cameras record directly onto a hard drive which would be considerably smaller than a box of film tape on top. The first film to be completely made with digital recording equipment was Star Wars episode One the phantom menace and episode II: attack of the clones using a Sony HDW-F900, and both were shot with full hd film.
