I wonder if it’s just more cost effective to use a well-established tool like green screen, and then contract out all the rotoscoping clean-up to other countries for less than minimum wage?
I think part of the deal is that, no amount of manual intervention will allow translucent objects (like the veil) as nicely as sodium vapor lighting , also motion blur
Yeah maybe it's something like the person choosing the camera process doesn't directly have to deal with 12 hours of roto per day, so practically it's just not something they think about.
