Both Camelot and pure independents
attempt to realize costs savings by using digital film tech
due to the lower cost of processing, stock, dailies and certain
editing costs. Major studios also benefit from using digital
technology in certain genres, but not so much from a cost
standpoint. Instead, the heavy effects used by major studios’
high-budget action and science-fiction pictures are increasingly
enhanced as a result of using digital photography. While this
negates the cost benefits, the overall value in terms of entertainment
quality is generally enhanced. One party that has found the
benefits of digital photography rather elusive is the small
and mid sized production company. This is generally because
when they convince a director to use digital photography,
the director and director of photography (DP) will specify
additional camera setups. Similarly, the increased, low-cost
coverage available, along with real-time video monitoring,
often results in issues between directors and DPs, as they
analyze and debate each shot during precious shooting time.
As a result, the historical mixed use of digital photography by small
and medium sized production companies generally has a neutral
impact on overall value. |
