FWIW.... this definitely doesn't speak for all of the movie industry
but this past weekend I watched the final DVD's of "Lost Season 2" in
order to catch-up before the new season begins. The final DVD was a
2-DVD set and the other DVD had the typical extra bonus materials.
I watched some of the bonus material and there's one item named
"Anatomy of an Episode" or something like that. It basically covers
everything that goes into making an episode... from start to finish.
Yadda-yadda-yadda, they showed all the production work and how they
digitize the film, do the non-linear editing, add the sound-effects and
overlay some of the voices in the scenes and etc, etc. Being a
computer-guy I was checking out the software they use for this.
Long story short... everything I saw was being done on Mac's with
gigantic monitors.
