Digital El Mariachi: the Beginnings of Cinema Workflows for Online Video
summary
Claims that theatrical-grade workflows are now practical on small budgets, demonstrated with concrete tools and numbers: $500 gimbal to reproduce crane moves, $900 4K camera with cinema glass, recording to ProRes 4444 / CinemaDNG on SD cards, ingest into an $8k GPU box (Steam PC + USB3 card readers) that automates metadata, checks frame rates and codecs, runs Adobe/Blackmagic grading, and transcodes for distribution. A live ingest→edit→grade→transcode→JW Player demo proves the chain-of-command approach preserves quality and avoids costly format mistakes.
