Acording to that O Brother, Where Art Thou? was shot on 35mm and did not originate on Video.

• No, what the article is saying is that it was the first major feature to do a complete digital intermediate. This means that the film was shot, everything was scanned in at high resolution, the visual effects and credits are added and the image is graded, and then the video files are printed back out onto film.

The "Video To Film" section is very confused and could do with a re-write. The comment on shooting "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" on 35mm is a clear example of this. The section starts off by saying we can now go from video back to film stock, then talks about how "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" used a digital intermediate. This is not the same thing, as the above comment makes clear.
