Lights, camera action

Article Abstract:

There is now a growing feeling that simulator films need to become more exciting and interesting, having a content which is both more creative and more imaginative. However, the fact that simulators rely on a high throughput to boost profit levels means that films tend to be very short, giving little scope for variations in pace in the story. New directions for simulator films are now being considered, including increased links with Hollywood.
