The advantages of digital cinematography
- You have a direct method of controlling your footage either through real-time high-resolution displays or by rendering instant quickies (“dailies”).
- You have a minimum 45 minutes of recording time, so your shooting is not limited by physical length of film reel or by need to reload magazines.
- You have no cost for film processing and/or stock.
- Because much of postproduction is digital already, you don't need to transfer your film material into digital material and then transfer it back. With digital material from the beginning you have a lossless workflow for your footage.
- Your digital material doesn't loose fidelity or resolution no matter how many times it is copied or how long it is stored.
- The whole workflow is easier, faster, more flexible, more efficient and therefore much more cost efficiently.
