On-Set Generation of Color Corrected Dailies in Digital Cinema Production

The amount of time between shooting a scene and being able to view dailies to evaluate the results has decreased from a matter of days on film productions to almost instantaneous on video productions. However, with the introduction of file-based workflows, this time has once again increased due to the need for post-processing of the raw image data. New developments in file-based workflows now allow for the creation of dailies on the set during production—rather than overnight at a post-production facility— providing rapid feedback for the cinematographer and director. Creating dailies becomes an integral part of a file-based workflow including data management and backup, color correction, dailies production, editorial proxy generation, and color metadata creation.
