Talk:Dailies

message: I've added the  template to this article, as Rushes is an article for essentially the same thing, but a different term for it.  I've also added the  tag; this article is very wordy but without a single source to its name.  I was reluctant to remove any of it as there's a lot of good info there - it just needs to be referenced.
If no-one objects in the next few days I'll merge the two articles, and if I find the time I'll try and tidy up the article in order for it to accord with Wikipedia's guidelines.  Nuge talk 19:16, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with the merge; don't forget Daily rushes, which is also aboout dailies. So this is actually a three-way merge! :-) Peter S. 15:26, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for pointing that out Peter, I hadn't spotted it!  It's been a good five days or so now and no-one's objected, I'm going to go ahead and merge all three to Dailies, making the other pages redirects. Nuge talk 16:01, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Done; all pages now merged to this one. Nuge talk 16:38, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

message: ==Level 1==Film Rushes or Dailies:Purpose
Film and Digital rushes are a method to critique the acting, lighting, camera, (focus and coverage),continuity,and  analyze story development. It is a time to find technical and creative problems that would necessitate reshooting a scene. It is important to find mistakes, in the dailies, while the film actors, the sets, and the crew are all available. Time and money are saved by watching the daily rushes. All key crew members attend, all eyes on their particular expertise.

thread_title:  rushes 

message: It is difficult to describe the scope and magnitude of film dailies.
According to the MPAA in their Research & Statistics department, "The average cost to make and market a major MPAA member company film was $100.3 million in 2006.  This includes $65.8 million in negative costs and $34.5 million in marketing costs.  (Refer to page 12 of the 2006 U.S. Theatrical Market Statistics Report)"
Much of the negative cost of $65.8 million is the cost or value of the dailies.  And that is just for a single motion picture. Wow!Robert Elliott 21:31, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's very inacurate. "Negative costs" in this context mean "everything it takes until the final film is complete on a single negative strip ready for copying and distribution". So, it includes star salaries, employing hundreds of people etc. Cheers. Peter S. 19:11, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree; it's ridiculous to believe that the majority of the costs - even the film stock costs - come from a single set of rush prints when the average studio release has hundreds if not thousands of prints issued domestically (much less abroad).

text: With many films using digital intermediates (all the edits/vfx done digitally), dailies can be done digitally now, so that figure is probably even more inaccurate, no?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.49.166.155 (talk) 09:54, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
