Description
An easy to follow, quick reference introductory guide for beginning professionals and students in filmmaking and postproduction. It explains
all film laboratory procedures in the context of the wide range of technology that is used by filmmakers, explaining what happens and
why at every stage. A technical understanding of film processing and printing, telecine and laboratory and digital processes will help
you get the best results for your film. The book is particularly useful for those who have come to film making from other media - video
or digital.
The book is based on the author's own experience as a lab technician and technical film consultant and provides answers
to many frequently asked questions. The different pathways for film production and postproduction are demonstrated as well as the function
of the lab at each stage of the process. The complete range of services is offered, with particular emphasis on the often confusing requirements
for super 16 and the blow up to 35mm, the intricacies of negative cutting to match a non-linear edit and the process of grading and regrading
for the answer print.
