Why a dedicated Dailies System?

In the real world there are rarely any two productions which have the exact same requirements for dailies. The post production facility doing the dailies has to make a variety of alterations, large and small, to the way they operate for each production they work on.

Large budget feature films may ask for fully graded selects transferred in HD 444, sound synchronised and logged, with multiple versions of video tape and files as deliverables. Smaller independent features may ask for a best light grade of each entire lab roll, with only one video tape copy as a deliverable. Some will shoot on film, others electronically. Some will record sound on DAT, others will use DVD media. US series will shoot at 24 frames per second and off-line in NTSC, while many European series will shoot 25 frames per second and off-line in PAL.

There is no single way to do dailies that suits everyone. This fact alone makes for interesting times at  best; stressful and sleepless nights at worst. No matter how big or how small the client is, they don’t like their dailies deliverables late and they don’t like them being done wrong.

Another aspect is the fact that there is an increasing demand for cost savings along with increased quality requirements. “Timepressure-Cost-Quality” are the three most important elements which determines if a dailies project is successful and will bring further business into the facility in the future. Specific tools solely designed for the purpose of dailies are helping to streamline the process and optimize machine capacities on other equipment.

As a result one can save time on expensive telecines and optimize the investment. Getting a faster ROI, providing better quality and streamlining the process to save time is the main target of this new workflow.
