expensive taxi bills or hotels at peak
times) as well as reducing the carbon
footprint
of the production and,
crucially, opening the door to more
creative innovation.
We regularly talk to producers who
want more angles, more motion, and
more cameras but the logistics and
cost are usually prohibitive. By using
automation tools such as Polymotion
Player One, a single operator can
manage multiple cameras from a
simple pan bar, so as the operator
follows the action, all the cameras
are looking at the same point with
different framing, angles etc. As a
really
simple example, the same
operator could be running two
cameras side by side, one in 16:9
and the other in 9:16 for OTT, but the
possibilities are immense. "

have
resulted in an increase in
remote production.
Currently two global
factors are
having a very big impact on our
industry. First, the global electronic
component shortage which affects
the production of equipment, is
increasing. Some manufacturers
claim delivery times of six months
or more; some equipment becomes
more expensive. All this leads to an
increase of CapEx, the equipment is
depreciated over a longer period of
time.
The second important factor
is the global economic crisis, which
is cutting investment in long-term
television projects.
For these reasons, the market
behaviour of equipment purchasers
changes: they change the range of
purchased
equipment, refuse to
launch new expensive projects and to
implement expensive technologies.
On the other hand, they discover new
brands, solutions and workflows. For
many, it turns out to be a surprise
that solutions they had not paid
attention to before are efficient and
well suited to their tasks.
As a result, the way the industry
deals with equipment and finances
