Melbourne – Digital Pictures recently completed work on Roger Donaldson’s box office hit, The Bank Job (premiering in Australia 31 July). Shot on the Arriflex D20, the film was one of the first feature projects to use the camera and certainly a first for Roger and Digital Pictures. Choosing to shoot in this format enabled him to work in Australia, on a project filmed in the UK.
With the introduction of digital, Directors are now finding themselves in a unique position as their choice of post-houses goes global. With government incentives, favourite editors and plain old convenience, Directors no longer need to rely only on local providers. As a result, the most organised post-houses are investing in their technology and upgrading their systems to ensure they can handle whatever technology requirements their Director clients throw at them.
