The first question is, what are they shooting? RED? Alexa? If Alexa, then ArriRAW or ProRes 4444 Log-C? What?
Then I would always say transcode, transcode, transcode — to DNxHD 36 or 115. For that you'll need a couple of TB for the dailies, and then for your work (renders, music imports, graphics, whatever). But be sure you're storing at RAID 5 or some other mirrored, backed-up system.
Yes, you could use AMA for this sort of thing, but I just don't really believe in it for feature work. You'll be so much happier with transcoded DNxHD MXF files zooming along happily inside the Avid.

Dearest Sage Ones,Seeking recommendations for a low budget feature I'm cutting in July. I would prefer to cut from the camera sources, so I'll need enough storage to cover 20 shoot days.How much storage would you recommend I get, and do you have any favorite RAID setups?Also, does anyone have a feature film project template (Avid) they might care to share?Avid MC 7.1OS X 10.9.2Best,Michael Kedor
