Writing for expensive locations…
by Nathan…is not a problem!
Thanks to technology, the screenwriter no longer has to worry about writing scenes that would be prohibitively expensive to film. Well, they do still have to worry about the cost, but locations themselves can be created out of thin air thanks to amazing advances in computer composite-imaging technology. Here is an example of such scenes that were built almost entirely digitally. The video is from Stargate Studios (LA, Vancouver).
This technique is called a “Virtual Backlot.”
