Why is it so difficult to get proper lensgrids?
I've been working for some years now and I can remember very few projects in which the studio I was working in has received properly filmed lensgrids, even in decently sized and somewhat well known productions the grids are often badly aligned, don't cover the whole image, or are not even filmed with the same resolution as the main plates. Sometimes it truly seems as though whoever filmed it has absolutely no idea why they're doing that, or how to do it properly.
I'm guessing most of the time is probably due to time constraints, and I am not trying to judge, I know that it is impossible to do everything perfectly, but I am still curious as to why this happens so often (and also want to vent a little ngl), is this an industry wide issue or have I just had terrible luck so far? Thanks!
