Digital Intermediate

Digital intermediate is like coloring on a coloring book, but for movies. When a movie is made, it’s shot on a camera and usually in a raw format. This raw format looks kind of like a blank coloring book page, with all the lines and shapes but without any color.

The first step in making a movie is to edit it, deciding which shots to use and which ones not to. Once that’s done, the movie will usually look pretty good, but it still needs some work. This is where the digital intermediate comes in.

The goal of the digital intermediate is to make sure the movie looks as good as possible, just like coloring a coloring book picture so that it’s vibrant and pretty. The digital intermediate will color correct the movie, so that the colors look the way the filmmakers intended. It will also adjust the contrast and brightness so that the movie looks the way it’s supposed to.

But that’s not all the digital intermediate can do. The movie may have special effects that need to be added in, like explosions or magical creatures. The digital intermediate can add those in, making them look realistic and part of the world of the movie.

Once everything is finished, the digital intermediate is then turned back into a movie file. This new file is the final product, and is the one that we see in the theater or on our TVs at home.

So basically, digital intermediate is like coloring a blank coloring book page, but instead of crayons, we’re using special computer programs to make movies look even more amazing.
