In
recent months many filmakers in India have moved on to
or are considering shooting on digital camera systems.
| The DI (Digital Intermediate) workflow for movies that were not shot on film is somewhat similar to movies that use 35mm. I've written about this on my blog and in publications like 'Digital Studio, Studio systems and other places. |
