These guys think they're gonna transmit 50 gigabytes from LA to Atlanta over the internet in four hours. During the day.
Boy, have they got a lot to learn. (You'd think Cisco would know better.)

It's Hollywood.
Assume hype.
It is kind of a 21st Century thing to be done by TWENTIETH-CENTURY FOX (Did they just ignore the hYpe2K, or are they EVER gonna change the name?)

It's do-able, but I'd rather not wait until the day before to start moving the data.

Isn't it kind of funny that 70 years ago, nonstop, transatlantic flights were an amazing feat, and now it's pushing packets across the country?
Somehow, it just doesn't have the same impact as Lindbergh...

Isn't this a normal event with post production companies (I remember one being profiled from Vancouver) leasing space on private networks to ship footage down to Hollywood?

More power to 'em. Let's hope it works and the technology trickles down FAST; I'm tired of designing for clients who agonize over their customers with 14.4 modems. You can't have too much bandwidth.
Is there an ancient art of film making I don't know about? Which presumably came before the modern era the article mentions.

20Fox has actually put out a press release; several months

Actually, every indication seems to show that digital projection is worse quality than optical projection. Too much damn artifacting.
And filming on digital video is nothing like shooting on celluloid. Lucas is just being a dumbass.
