The biggest revolution in digital film making is removing the needed process of developing negatives and scanning them
in order to manipulate them in a non-linear system and then having to
put the digital imagery back onto film.
With the use of
digital cameras, the process of negative processing is
eliminated. With the cost of developing 1.5 million feet of film
around 2 million dollars, being able to eliminate it saves both time an
money.
With digital filming, you can have input of raw
footage into the non-linear editing system in a matter of hours not
days.
iProductions will have one HD film scanner and
recorder available.
Although the digital revolution is coming, we still have
to meet the needs of being able to create prints for showing in existing
movie houses. These legacy systems ensure that we will still be compatible by being able
to show our own productions with conventional film projector equipment at the
same time setting up an infrastructure that will support true digital
film making from production to distribution and final showing.
