Charlie Productions : Neg Cutting

It may be a dying art in this new dawn of video, but this is one of the most terrifying (and therefore well-paid) of jobs in the film industry. All the money that is ever spent on a film is kept in one place in the end: on the negative. Damage the negative and you are costing the film thousands, millions. The Neg Cutter's job is to cut the negative. And then glue it together in the right order. And as we all remember from Airfix, glueing is not as easy as you think.

Like carving a statue from solid gold, they create the final film. Of course, what with HD and digital post-production, they are slowly becoming less in-demand, to be replaced by the gurus of 35mm transfer...



Charlie Productions believe passionately in doing things and always trying to stop in time for tea.
