Personal Quote:

On a film like 'Serious Man,' without a huge budget, you're on a tight schedule and shoot when you have to, even if the light isn't exactly what you want. If you do a digital intermediate (DI) you can change the lighting, the saturation and the contrast. You can do a lot without spending the money to go to an effects house. -- on preferring to do post-production on a film electronically See more »
