720086FRAMEFLOWAClosedGRD Development of PrototypeInnovate UKThe move to making movies digitally has offered many advantages, but has also caused several disruptions in industry practice and requirements. Most movie material is now being acquired digitally, using very high quality digital cinematography cameras. The data acquired is a series of red, green, and blue samples known as Mosaic data, or Bayer data. This data is not directly viewable, and has to be computer processed to make images that can be viewed on computer monitors. This interpolation process is currently immature, and can be very time consuming. Normally it is not done until the production is completed, and the images are in postproduction, and Directors of Photography have to rely on low quality video feeds to review their work. We plan to develop a system to work with all digital cinematography cameras that will allow near instant viewing of shot material, so that decisions can be made ‘on set’ as to the suitability of the shot material for its purpose. Advantages are that decisions can be made before sets are dismantled, and actors finish their scene. Most cameras are hired by production crews for the period of a given shoot: a system that is compatible across the range of cameras will be an attractive product for the professional market of movie equipment rental companies.
