Premium Member Michael Nash Posted August 14, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted August 14, 2007 It usually depends on the production company. Since networks and companies that do several shows can maintain huge libraries of tape, they've all worked out their own systems of labeling to keep track of things. Basic information will usually include show title, episode #, camera number and/or roll #, date, and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Chad Stockfleth Posted August 14, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted August 14, 2007 I always put a job number (internally assigned) date, brief description of footage, format (720p, 1080i, etc.), frame rate (24p, 30, 60p) framing (4:3, 16x9) and if i used a scene file, i'll remark which one, and possibly tweaks made to it (but not always). also, tape number.

e gustavo petersen Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 For what it's worth, my AC usually gets that information from the production co. or coordinator and prints them using Avery. He leave an underline for information he fills out on set. It's fast, efficient and looks very professional. The usual stuff is as follows but not all this information gets on the label: Production Co. Production Title Job Number Tape Number Timecode number Type of HD Aspect ration Frame rate Number of audio channels Audio settings Tone setting (dB) Special Tape (ex. if your putting all your off-speed footage from a Varicam on a separate tape) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Bowerbank Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I just worked on a shoot produced by an MTV guy, and his standard was: Production Title, Date, Camera, Tape No. for the Day For example, the production was called "San Francisco Values" and say we shot with the B camera today SFV 081407 B01 It was a good way of catalogueing and keeping track of how much tape we were burning per diem. Don't know if it's a standard with any other productions or networks out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
