People using early/mid 2000 consumer grade cameras is popular again for a lot of content creators (and just 90s/early 2000s tec in general). Maybe it can give this film a new life/make it feel perhaps even more relevant than it was when it came out

This is what he wanted it to look like and he remains proud of how it looks. Danny Boyle doesn't care about your TV set's feelings.

I am going off memory from some behind the scenes but given the budget they used DV so they could work quickly and edit effects cheaply. SINCE DIGITAL HD was not a thing yet except maybe Star Wars.

It was aesthetic more than it was practical - they had already made Vaccuuming Completely Nude In Paradise and Strumpet for BBC2 in exactly the same way.
