Digital Magic,
the postproduction company, has come up with an offer for filmmakers
that a film shot for 40 days can be completed in Rs 40 lakhs which
includes dubbing, editing and all other post production facilities.
Moorthy, who
showed a demo film shot on digital camera, said that doing away
with negative, using multi camera setup and adapting live sound,
the film shooting time will be reduced and post production time
would be less. Fewer lights were only needed since the camera was
ultra sensitive and on digital format, it was easy to do special
effects and graphics. Multilayering and color correction for song
sequences will be another advantage for the directors.
Renowned director
SA Chandrasekhar is likely to be the first to shoot a film in digital
format, said Moorthy.
