Product Description
The Digital Intermediate process (DI), or conversion of film to digital bits and then back to film again, has great potential to revolutionize the postproduction process. The skill set to photochemically process a movie and pop it into a canister for the postal service to send around to all of the movie houses and the skill set to digitally master and create a file that is distributed globally via the Internet and satellites are completely different. One of these entirely new processes is that of the digital intermediate. The DI has tremendous advantages, ranging from improved quality (first "print" is as good as the last) to cost savings (no re-mastering) to digital distribution (bits and bytes: no film in canisters). The DI influences everything from on set production to the delivery of content to consumers and everything in between.
Digital Intermediates for Film and Video teaches the fundamental concepts and workflow of the digital intermediate process. Covers basics of film first, and then introduces the digital world--including a tutorial on digital images, asset management, online editing, color correction, restoration, film and video output, mastering and quality control.
Jacks clear and easy-to-follow explainiation of Hollywood buzz words and components facilitates the spill over to anyone who has a vested interest in the quality and cost of the movie.
* The first broadcast-quality digital intermediate process was made only three years ago--25% of all films made in 2004 will go through the process--and this is the first book about the process!
* Author's work on HBO's Band of Brothers established the industry standard
* Book assumes no digital production knowledge--packed with jargon busters and "ready reference" charts

A good overview July 19, 2006
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is a really good overview of the all DI workflow, even if DI is evolving everyday. It gives a good understanding of the all process. My only regret is that it doesn't go "deeper" in the explanations (ie: Ok, a LUT is a LUT but it could have been useful to show examples) , staying at the "surface"...
