THE PROBLEM

Shoot day wraps at 6pm. The director wants to review organized dailies with selects and notes by the morning meeting at 9am. That's 14 hours of footage from today's shoot across 3 cameras, and the director needs to see it grouped by scene, with the best takes flagged and any technical issues noted.

Traditionally, an assistant editor spends 3 to 4 hours after wrap reviewing every take, organizing by scene and setup, marking circle takes, and flagging problems like focus issues or audio dropouts. It's essential work. The director can't make informed decisions about tomorrow's shoot without it.

The work is critical but procedural. Identifying which takes are sharp, which performances landed, and which setups had technical problems follows consistent criteria that don't change from shoot to shoot.
