Re: [Avid-L2] Workflow for Indie Feature

 

Wow David, thanks you so much for your detailed response. 


Best Codec... You can put 115 and 175 on a big screen and they look dynamite. So if you're not storage challenged, go 115. 

- I'm used to 36 offline on the shows I work on but I'm going to take your advice and go for 115.

Rec709 vs. LogC. How's the DP? 

Great DP who will get it on-set but I'm going to push back and see if we can shoot LogC

Resolution acquisition. ... Of course if they're shooting 2K, you're perilously close to 1080 anyway, so it's not as though they're shooting 5K or 6K giving you access to whole worlds of resizing euphoria. 

 - OK, so you're saying 2K is not enough bigger to warrant FrameFlexing or somehow uprezzing any re-sized shots. Fair enough, I'll just do what I normally do.

Bringing in the footage. ... What's the division of labor? 

- That's the big question! DIT was going to hopefully do transcoding but its a little unclear. I'll dig in.

Bottom line, back up. 

- Amen. Thanks for the reminder.

Hello folks! 


I'm about to start editing an Indie feature, need to formulate a plan for post.

I thought this might be a good place to ask for some thoughts/insight. Your help is GREATLY appreciated.


- Shooting on ARRI: ProRes 2K at rec 709

- Editing with Avid 8.x

- DIT on-set to backup and transcode footage. 

- Post responsible for upload of dailies

- Post needs to prep movie for projected screenings as the edit progresses


Here are some of the questions I have. Again, I appreciate any advice. 



- Which codec is best for editorial? - DNX36?

- If we do use DNX36 will it look ok for projected screenings?

- How hard should I argue for them to shoot LogC as opposed to rec 709?

- Given 2K acquisition, what is the best way to access the resolution in the case of blowing up/re-positioning shots?
- What is the best process to bring in the footage/what should I ask the DIT for? 

Again I appreciate any thoughts you might have. I normally work on tv series with a robust post department that works this all out, so its a bit of a first for me.

THANKS!

Jesse
