Edit Film/Conform Tape (EFLM/CTAP) — The Filmmaker's Video System
The Edit Film/Conform Tape (EFLM/CTAP) system is an integrated laboratory post-production system that uses original film footage to create a conformed and completed video master tape. The production team uses film production equipment and techniques for the filming, editing, and final sound-track generation. In the lab, the EFLM/CTAP system builds a high-quality video master from the uncut original film footage and allows full use of electronic character generation, digital effects, etc. This article addresses the reasons for shooting on film and releasing on videotape, and explains how the EFLM/CTAP system provides a transparent in-laboratory bridge between film origination and video release.
