The new series of creature comforts is totally filmed digitally and no film is used what so ever. The directors of photography make the best of their digital look rather than pretending that their shooting on film. The reason film isn’t used is because it would have been too expensive and difficult. Digital filming is starting to take over from film. There is even an introduction of cinemas having digital projectors. This could mark the end of film.
Once the sketches of the characters have been drawn they are sent to the set builders and to Andy who is the director of photography. The set designers and Andy work closely together and decisions are made about what lens to use – depending on the dimensions of the set. For example a wide angle lens would be used to fit more of the scene in shot.
Andy also has to ensure that he and the animators work together and communicate well. If they don’t this could mean hours of wasted time. The animators might fiddle with the brightness of the monitors to be able to see the models better. If Andy doesn’t know, then his lights are all wrong and the scene will come out dark and murky.
