Digital Tech

The digital technician, or digital imaging technician is charged with ensuring that the video or stills are captured without errors, and that the quality of the files is up to the standards set for the job.  The tech provides the cinematographer, still or video photographer with the capability of visualizing and digitally manipulating the image to achieve his or her vision while on the set.  It is also part of the job to facilitate the making of edits and corrections before even sending the files to post-production.  Finally it’s the job of the tech to make sure that all files are safely backed up and are passed on to post-production with all the necessary data to maintain the photographer’s vision.
