Prof. Martin Hagemann will talk about the financial and organizational aspects of digital production and the effects of stereo 3D production on the preparation processes. With "Avatar" 3D on the agenda of every film-producer, soon it will be a topic for TV producers as well. What does that mean for smaller independent production companies? After presenting a 3D teaser during this year's Berlinale with a view to raising finance to produce the 3D feature later this year, first experiences on budgeting, producing and financing questions concerning 3D will be shared.
