shooting-digitalIn the past, Hollywood has overlooked the importance of technological innovation.  However, tough economic times and increasing industry recognition (Benjamin Button was the first film shot digitally to receive a best cinematography nod) have cemented digital production into the Hollywood landscape.  Producer Dean Devlin is pioneering the art of digital production with his high-tech TNT thriller, Leverage.  Leverage is the first show to be shot entirely on the Red camera and it is the only show to complete editing, special effects, color, and sound all under one roof.  Last week, Devlin spoke about shooting in digital and streamlining production to KCRW’s The Business.  Listen to a few clips below, for the entire interview click here.

  • I think everyone is hesitant toward change, but in filmmaking is essential for change in order to produce better film. Digital filmmaking is definitely moving on the fast track and I'm excited to see where we will be 10 years from now!
