ABSTRACT
Making a dramatic film is an expensive, industrialized process, with stages of manufacture made necessary by the need to work with maximum efficiency. With several well-respected films under his belt, such as Leaving Las Vegas (1995), Miss Julie (2000), Timecode (2000), and Hotel (2001), Mike Figgis has greeted the smaller, digital filmmaking process enthusiastically:
No system or procedure is holy, and yours should be firmly adjusted to the needs and size of your production. Planning how things will be done and by whom has
everything to do with how much you shoot per day and whether you come in on budget and within the schedule.
