American Cinematographer's March 1998 article on the low-budget feature Shopping for Fangs (co-directors Quentin Lee and Justin Lin, cinematographer Lisa Wiegand) quotes Lin on three plan losses: a storyboard thrown away after a power outage, a scene cut by a third after a late start, and longer lenses dropped for lack of time. Lin also says boards helped him find the essence of each scene so he was prepared when a crisis occurred. This is one reported production from 1997-98 shot on film, with no measurement of how much of the plan was lost.
