Perhaps the OP is referring to this:

[...] Among the many pieces of advice dispensed over the two-hour class, he urged students to forego the romantic dream of film, saying that digital is now the way to go. "Digital is much more superior in quality than film," he stated. "And it gives you much more creative freedom. Let's forget about the past."

Bigazzi just finished shooting the latest Sorrentino film, The Early Years, which stars Michael Caine, Harvey Keitel, Rachel Weisz, Jane Fonda and Paul Dano. The film was shot in Switzerland with some parts in Venice. "It was one of the most tiring movies of my life. We shot something like 35 to 40 shots a day, with three cameras," Bigazzi tells The Hollywood Reporter.

"We like to shoot fast, because if you lose time, you lose the concentration, the reality," he says. "We need to go fast, faster and faster. I'm very happy about that. We get a better product when the pressure is on. If you lose time in lighting, in thinking and in discussion, you lose the reality and destroy the acting.
