Boyle is probably the biggest name to hop on the digital hype train early on, so this isn't super shocking.

Those early digital years were brutal. 28 Days Later looks worse with every passing year, probably never fixable (the cam's resolution and quality was just too low).

Edit: Wow, it was shot in SD 480 for some reason (I thought the cam was capable of HD 720). Fantastic article, full of tech details.

But it was cheap, they even could afford the Oppenheimer actor back then.
