[Tig] deadlines

[Steve Hullfish]

I sent this request out to the colorlist with only one response. TIG  
seems a little more lively today, so I'll repost:

My color correction experience is limited to tape-to-tape corrections  
(and a DI theatrical trailer I post-supervised).

What are some typical amounts of time that the folks on the list are  
given for various types of projects?

On the nationally telecast documentary series I've graded, I  
typically had about two days to grade a 48 minute, approx. 600 shot  
show. That works out to about 20 minutes of grading for each minute  
of finished show or about  a minute and a half per shot.

How does that compare with spots, features and prime time drama? I  
sat in on a couple telecine grades of some national spots that I  
edited and those were between 4 and 8 hours.


----------------------

On the colorlist, we had one response with a non-linear correction  
job for a 2500 shot 2 hour PBS doc being corrected in 15 hours!  
That's a grade of a shot every 20 seconds!
