DIGITAL INTERMEDIATES
NT – Your Guide through the Digital Maze
We understand the economics of filmmaking and your need to deliver on-time and within budget.
Choose wisely. The value added services and technical expertise provided by NT will help protect your bottom line. Other companies can add required services after your project is in their facility - skyrocketing your costs and exceeding your budget.
The DI process can start with either film or digitally acquired elements.
NT offers a comprehensive range of HD, 2K, 4K, and 6K post production services for filmmakers:
- Film to film
- Film to tape
- Tape to tape
- Data to film/tape
The NT Advantage – Full or Partial DI
We offer the high-end equipment and technical expertise of the mega DI shops, but with the personal service and budget-maximizing advantages of an innovative boutique. Plus, NT offers creative options and flexibility. We can pick up your project anywhere along the workflow and get you to professional, technically correct finish.
- NT’s talented pool of color artists enables us to match your needs with the colorist best suited for
your specific genre, budget, and color grading requirements. - Finishing is completed at NT. There’s no shuttling or couriering of film and other elements to other
facilities. - Titles, credits, and soundtracks can be completed and VFX incorporated at NT and viewed in our
digital/film theater featuring 2K digital and film projection with 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound Audio. - At the conclusion of the DI process, film recording is done with Arrilaser® film recording or
mastered to video or data formats.
