On the one hand, I understand your concerns about environmental issues - but
better recycling could address the bulk of this. And for 64-bit, I have to
agree with Teddy. My labor of love project - my IMAX film built from
photographs - was dead in the water until AE went 64-bits. Even Shake, Nuke,
Combustion were not viable alternatives either. I had an 18 month delay on
the film simply waiting for AE 64-bit so I could work on the film.

It's also a huge help in Photoshop and my NLE Vegas - anyone working in 2k
and 4k (and beyond) especially using 16 and 32-bit color - 64-bit software
is near make or break feature. The compositors (who were using Shake) on
Dark Knight had to have all sort of custom programming workaround to deal
with Shake 32-bit crashes.

64-bit is the single feature that has expanded what I can do with a computer
since dual processing. It's as big of a step as from the 640kb memory limit
was.

A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a
progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the
meaning, all that comes later.
-Stanley Kubrick
