I used to belong to a filmmakers' group, so I read the article. Some good suggestions about gear, not so much about filmmaking or editing. Ironically, they overexerted themselves: - the "theater experience" is not about the camera or image quality, it's about the sound quality/sound track. You can show grainy film with stereo CD-quality sound, and nobody will complain. Try the reverse and see what happens. - looked like years of editing - for VOD. Why? They could have done two more films in that time window. - sounds like a lot of SFX - why? A lot of movies have only a handful. - as far as "oldversion" software - well, when do you think the engines for that softwarwe were written? Probably the 80s or 90s. If you look at any music studio, they're using like 2010 Macbook Pros (you can replace the battery and they have Firewire), along with DAWs from ... the oughts. "The original Blair Witch Project was not shot with a DSLR, it was shot with a Digital 8 camcorder and 16mm film." A data point from another low-budget film, but that one made it to theaters even.
