American Cinematographer - October 2007 - 87

These shots of a quarry where a key action sequence takes place illustrate the look of the original footage in dailies (top) and after the digital grade (bottom). re-sync all the sound and eye-match all the cuts. Affleck and Goldenberg used two Symphony Nitris systems to cut the film, while two Avid Meridians were upgraded to Adrenaline systems for the assistants, but the new master clips in the HD project were having trouble linking back to the original Xpress Pro EDL. Eventually all the footage was redigitized, and Affleck’s cut was conformed at a resolution of 1920x1080, 24 progressive frames per second with 35mm settings (to enable key number counting and tracking) while using DNX175, a fullraster HD codec and the highest-resolution compression supported by Avid. When Goldenberg arrived, he began fresh on the second half of the movie. Runway provided technical support, integration services and workflow solutions for the new equipment, and it was up to McGilvray to connect these four unique systems to a 24-terabyte Unity and keep things running smoothly throughout the editorial process. Editing in HD has often been deemed impractical because of storage requirements and/or expense. Affleck believes the slightly higher cost of storage was offset by the benefits HD offered, particularly when it came to screening completed scenes and cuts for the studio and producers. Editing in HD allowed the editors to present previews in HD directly from the Avid without having to conform or up-rez. “It meant we could screen in the cutting room at a resolution that was as close as we could get to the original image,” says the director. “So if people whose opinion we really wanted came in to watch something, it looked great.” Recently, Avid has developed more efficient codecs, such as DNX36. Like DNX175, it’s a full-raster, 1080p codec, but with a compression scheme requiring about 1⁄5 of the storage space. “The technology moves quickly, but the acceptance of new workflows and new technologies is surprisingly slow,”
