      Movies will be cheaper to make, so more of the cost can go towards props, clothing, make-up, stunts, etc. Production quality on smaller films will skyrocket.

      @@Fin_The_Shark thats a crazy idea, I mean the possibilities are so vast that it is hard to imagine. its like when cinema began it was just like filming a theatre play. in the beginning no one even imagined the idea of a montage. all the camera tricks, narrative devices that we take for granted now were mind boggling to someone who grew up before cinema. So its really interesting whats gonna come of it, and chances are it is not going to be cinema but in 3d, itll be something else entirely.

      This is a massive bump in development between the writers room full of basic drawings to the live action sequences that actors play, it's giving a full environment necessary to ground better acting without leaving the studio and having to actually look at a burning forest and far better than pretending. I think in the future it could replace the massive green screens used for long and spacious shots too, not that the current sets aren't big enough as it is.

    Christopher Nolan did something similar with Interstellar. Whenever they were in the spaceships, all the windows had screens outside them showing space. The actors talked about how incredibly helpful it was not to have to stare at green walls all day.

    • @oOTheCassiel
      @oOTheCassiel 4 роки тому +6

      yeah but this makes it even easier for postproduction - let me explain. if you take the screens from interstellar and move your head or the camera in the cockpit the picture wont move - say you have 2 ppl there, both se the same stuff even if it would normally be impossible to see from their point of view.
      with this setup you have the screens at a distance around the cockpit and every actor and camera can film at the same time and have the right view on the screens.
      so in the first you have to change the videos/pictures on the screen with every camera switch - and you need to while with the second you could just have all the cams roll at the same time without the need for changing videos.
      but yeah the first is still way better than starring at a wall :P
