It's inevitable and unsurprising.
I do hope that it remains feasible to shoot on film for those that want to. It's a fun medium to work in, and there's a romanticism about shooting on film that I think is lost in using digital cameras.
About ten years ago, a musician acquaintance and I were discussing the decline of vinyl. His argument in favour of this archaic technology was passionate. He dispensed with technical arguments, which are generally just not very good, but opened my eyes to a very different argument that I respected: that there is an unbroken physical lineage between the artist and the listener, from the session microphone to the tape to the masters to the copies to the stylus of your turntable.
I have a similar affection for film, even if all editing is done through DIs nowadays, and even though I've been rooting for digital film-making ever since "The Last Broadcast".
