ABSTRACT
The previous series, Dune, had been shot on three perforation 35 mm so we knew where the extra expenses would be and where the economies could be made. Although the equipment was going to be a little more expensive than 35 mm, over the shooting period that was planned, something like 4 months, the economies on stock and processing were going to be huge. So we progressed to the point where we all agreed in principle that HD was the answer, that they would make sizable savings and there would be absolutely no loss in quality when compared to the previous series.
