A Digital Intermediate Workflow Using Telecined Media

A more traditional way to edit and color correct a project is to do an offline edit using a
less expensive telecine transfer of the dailies, and then do a datacine film scan of only
the shots used in the edit to create the online media.

The following steps break this process down more explicitly.

Stage 1:

Shooting the Film

Ideally, you should do some tests before principal photography to see how the film
scanner–to–Color–to–film recorder pipeline works with your choice of film formats and
stocks. It's always best to consult with the film facility you'll be working with in advance
to get as much information as possible.
