DraftSight update released

According to the film's producers, the iPhone 4 was used for post production tasks in the latest Dark Resurrection film, while Dassault Systemes has released an updated version of DraftSight

Dark Resurrection: Volume 0, a fan-made science fiction movie based around the Star Wars universe, used the iPhone 4 as part of the post-production phase. The models of spaceships and environments were all photographed with the iPhone 4, which returned an optimal size and kept all of the models in focus. The device was also used to overdub a number of the actors in their homes, helping the producers to reduce the films budget. The 40-minute film can be viewed on YouTube in its native Italian with English subtitles.
