Following last spring’s physical production hiatus, film and TV projects have largely returned to shooting in studio and on location. The productions themselves may not fully resemble pre-COVID sets with cast and crew members in masks and keeping their distance but the finished projects should bear little semblance with the Zoom-shot shows that sprung up in the early days of the pandemic.
“Most of our clients don’t want the production to feel like, when you watch it five years from now, that that was made during the pandemic,” said Eric Tomosunas, CEO of Swirl Films, which has produced shows and movies for TV networks and streaming services including BET and Netflix.
