Digital negative report

When shooting on film, the rushes are sent to the lab, and from there you will receive a negative report on the DMax and DMin levels? film scratches? All that’s measured through optics, and it’s done quickly and efficiently. With digital cinema you can’t produce a negative report without giving it a 100-percent lookthrough. You’re looking at the sensor, you’re looking for shutter errors, dead pixels, and noise patterns, and that has to happen in real time. A digital negative report is essential or the completion of a successful shoot.

The creative advantages for digital are too big to completely dismiss, or discourage. Its possible that a digital production, with all the safety checks required today, that it is just as expensive as film, but the options that digital offers can really bring together ground breaking cinematography and as such open a new wave of possibilities.
