I tend to pay close attention to the cinematographer or the photography director, in order to provide my services in a way that would satisfy their vision and result in the shape of a spectacular reality. I work in cooperation with the DP in order to guarantee that the DP's idea, as well as concept, is realized through digital picture modifications. Camera settings, codecs, frame rates resolution, aspect ratio, picture modifications, LUTs, frame rates, and other picture alterations are some of the things I hold an expertise in. One of the major responsibilities in terms of data wrangling is transferring the footage to various drives directly from the source media, when working with me, utmost protection of the data, as well as several planned backups, are guaranteed.

Technology is evolving at an astounding speed in today’s digital era. The film industry is no different as it advances with innovations in technology every day. Now, to answer the question that’s been puzzling you, what exactly is a DIT? Known as digital imaging technicians, we play a huge role in crossing the bridge between creativity and modern technological applications. DITs hold responsibility for countless duties on the film set, transferring footage onto backups drives being one of them. As a result, DITs must be skilled technicians, communicators, thinkers, and analysts. Data wrangling and protection, supporting the DP, and dailies are the three key roles of a digital imaging technician. DITs have a wide range of tasks as the digital format grows further complex and dynamic. DITs are a distinct part of the film business, with obligations ranging from film organization, and signal integrity to colour correction on the set.
