A Case Study

With this website we hope to help you in your search for what needs to be done. We can pick up your rushes (from location if you wish), transfer them to a viewing copy, transcribe them, translate them, even make them available for online viewing, and then when you've edited them, transfer to an NTSC copy, make a clone of your Digibeta, transfer it to DVD-R, , make a hundred DVD's, again make it available for online viewing. For more details of services such as NTSC to PAL conversions, standards conversions, DVD duplication, format conversions and video conversions, read the case studies below.

Friday, 5.30pm I've organised a bike to pickup from the location and take the final batch of rushes to Wheelers this evening. Wheelers' own courier picked up some tapes earlier this morning and already three of those have been transcribed and emailed back to us. This evening's batch will be transferred overnight tonight and all ten tapes should be transcribed by Monday morning.	11am Saturday Whatever's done by Saturday and Sunday mornings are being emailed directly to the director as the edit starts on Monday. Rather than biking the viewing copies to the director on Saturday morning, he's viewing them over the internet.
Monday, 9.30am Just phoned the edit suite to check everything is ok. It is. The hard drive from Wheelers arrived so it's just a case of plugging it in. The hard drive not only contains all of the production's footage in full, DV quality, but project files that have been made from all of the logging that the director has done on RushesStation.	Friday, 4pm Today is the last day of the 3-week edit. I've just asked Wheelers to pick up the final edit on a VHS so it can be transcribed and also put online because there are a few people that want to see it, and if need be more editing can be done over the weekend..
Wednesday, 2pm Well the graded online is out of the way. Wheelers are picking up the Digibeta andmaking a digi clone of it. At the same time they're putting it online and making a DVD-R master and 25 DVD duplication copies so all the contributors can get a copy. The online version will be sufficient quality that we're doing all the press an email link to the online file this time.	Wednesday, 2.01pm I forgot that Wheelers could do this one as well. We need a authored DVD as well, complete with a menu that can show a number of JPEG stills. They need a day or two to do this one, which is fine. I also got them to do the post production script.
