Easy Post-Production Cost Saving Tips p.3

One of the easiest ways to save money in post-production actually happens during production- visual effects. With a little bit of planning when you schedule your shoot, you can identify every scene where a computer screen or tv screen appears on. If you have an HD digital screen (ask your production designer for more information) then the film will capture the tv screen. By planning for this element of production, you create the necessary programming for the scene. Consequently, you don't have to spend thousands, yes THOUSANDS of dollars in your film budget on an expensive optical that will try to imitate what you could have done naturally during production.
