Artists today, myself included, can not avoid the digital medium any more. Whether the original art work is digital or not, it is beneficial to have a digital replica.

This way even if the original film reel or slides are damage, there is still a complete copy of my work. More importantly with Orb24, it comes with the added benefits of easy sharing with collaborators and family alike. It is definitely a tool geared for the lifestyle of a film maker in the web 2.0 era.
