> how little sense it makes economically at this point.

Please elaborate.




Sure.

For one, many of the problems this solves in a holistic and better way have found standard solutions widely implemented in the indie production market.

RED cameras are fairly prolific and accessible to a lot of people these days, and other imperfect solutions are popularly adopted as well.

While this option is all-around more capable, the modding workflow is still foreign and will take some time to adapt.

Purely economically, there is a lot less money flowing into indie production outfits, particularly from advertising and indie entertainment enterprises like Youtube-online media channels. Advertising is embracing data based decision models that override costly creative production efforts that would properly utilize a camera like this.

In short, this thing is for artists, and artists are screwed.
