  Terminology

  Posted by Emre Tufekci s.o.a. on June 26, 2008 at 1:43 pm

  With switch to digital and tapeless workflows, I reccomend the following changes to our terminology:

  Filming = Compiling
  Speed = Write data
  Print that = Archive that
  Dailies = Instantenouses
  Video tap = Lets give a monitor to the kraft services so they can tell us what they think about our lighting.
  Bad Directing = DIT screwed up my scene
  Producer = Jerk

  😛

  [Emre Tufekci] “Print that = Archive that “

  Hmmm. I’ll use that one. The term “filming” is never used on our jobs. We don’t use film and we don’t film anything. I’ve been saying “capture” for quite a while. That term applies to any form of acquisition. Now that we’re using card based cameras, the term fits even better.
