dailies. The idea behind on-set dailies is that your post (or a portion of
your post) occurs during production and can address aspects of any of the
workl ows.
On-Set Dailies
If you are working on a show while production is still in progress, feedback from
geometry reviews can be extremely helpful to production. This is because they
may be able to correct a production issue on-set that will preserve post resources
for other work. In addition to more traditional work in the post suites, you and
your team may i nd yourself responsible for processing on-set dailies. The idea
behind on-set dailies is that your post (or a portion of your post) occurs during
production, as opposed to following production. With 3D on-set dailies, teams
can address aspects of any of the workl ows.
4.5.2 Workl ow Masters
Workl ow masters are imagery and metadata from 3D workl ows (i.e., depth,
color, editorial). Workl ow masters rel ect decisions made in other workl ows.
For example, say that you have made depth or color changes in a shot.
That change is rel ected in the depth and color workl ow masters. The
team must make sure that it preserves depth and color decisions as it i xes
geometry issues, or make sure the shots go back to depth and color following
geometry work.
4.5.3 Geometry Review Reports
A Geometry Review Report is a document rel ecting current prioritized list
of geometry issues where they occur in the show, and recommendations or
guidance on how to resolve the issue. Other than shots planned for conversion
and/or visual effects work, the geometry workload can be coni rmed only
when the team has reviewed the i rst set of dailies/footage in a geometry
review. Unlike the depth workl ow, there is no “geometry script” because
geometry is primarily a corrective workl ow. Ideally your show will only
require minimal geometry work on a handful of short-duration shots. Some
geometry issues can be resolved quickly. Other geometry issues can consume
resources intended for creative work.
