DIGITAL INTERMEDIATE PART II

DIGITAL INTERMEDIATE - CELLULOID-PART II

So yes.... DI is something which could cause a very strong Impact on the Film. There are many ways to perform a DI, so the conventional way of FILM Printing, and grading would change when its being took for DI.

A very simple process and necessacity of doing DI would be a DOP's ( Director Of Photography's) choice of the PRODUCTION's hoice, If DOP, then most of the time for enhancing his creativity, and often to hide his mistake's which had happened during the Shoot may be...... Hope No comments from DOP's.. jus kiddin!!!........ ok.

So wat does on the Celluloid happens when a DI is performed..... Nothing its like ...reaching the destiny after a round" Its like Celluloid to Digital and Digital Back to Celluloid.

A proper DI at a proper studio would be done at a top most care, since its a valuable material thats been shot spending precious time, Initially the Celluloid would be scanned at a very High resolution and stored as Digital files that can be processed for any changes via software for enhancements and then would be recorded back to Celluloid in a High Resolution .

There are many standards for Image Aquistition and Recording, which would be explained briefly on Part III.

So typically now the DI process would go through all these processes Negative Shot------> Scanned as Digital Files--------> Image enhancements and Image manupulations------> Image color changes( Often Referred as Grading in DI term)--------> Recorded as Celluloid again.

From the end product conventional Prints for Theatre screening can happen......

So more tech details shall come up on the next Part. i.e PART III.
