Hi Filmmakers,
Technological shifts are reshaping how we shoot. Alongside the traditional green screen, virtual production is locking in its place at a fast pace. But does this shiny new tech really replace everything, or does the tried-and-true chroma key still hold its ground?
As the Cinema Doctor, I feel many are overestimating the magic of the "new," instead of balancing budget against actual creative freedom.
What is your experience in everyday practice? Which method gives you more flexibility, and at what budget point does an LED volume actually become cost-effective for you? When do you choose one over the other?
Let’s talk.
