Visit to Dena’s transfer session at Postworks
-
Last Friday I dropped in on the supervised transfer of all the 16mm dailies from Dena Greenbaum’s Blues, taking place in Studio 5 at Postworks in Soho.
Postworks has just signed on as a sponsor of our four Reach fellows, providing them with a wealth of in-kind services and access to top notch finishing for their projects.

Unlike with feature films, which will often undergo a “one-light” transfer for all their dailies from film to video at this stage, the Fellows will see all their dailies color-corrected via a supervised telecine, then edit using the resulting video footage.
Because they are working with fewer feet of film than they would on a feature film, this workflow is a good option. It gives them maximum flexibility and helps save time and budget.

It was a treat to see Dena’s film come to life as we sat in the darkened studio, our eyes glued to the monitor. We look forward to screening her rough cut in the coming weeks.
