When you don't have the deliverables asset creation in the budget you are limiting the earning potential of the project.ĭrknsss wrote:Netflix Approved cameras refer to productions they commission / own and they want you to follow a specific workflow. When many people think of making a film, they are referring to actually making the film and not selling it which IMO is more important.

That list is more important than if the camera is approved or not IMO. Netflix's list of deliverables is an excellent reference point if you are creating content that you intend to sell. I spoke to a Netflix acquisitions person a few years back and the camera list doesn't apply for projects that they license (like some docs), so you can shoot on any camera you want BUT this may affect the license fee (and by affect I mean lower!) depending on YOUR overall workflow. Since THEY own the film you're making outright they want the assets to have things that the BM Cameras don't do like a specific kind of timecode audio/video format. This gives them the flexibility to make different edits for countries where you can't show certain scenes and a bunch of other stuff that gets very technical. Netflix Approved cameras refer to productions they commission / own and they want you to follow a specific workflow.
