ACVL Recommended Film Practices

A unique relationship exists between a laboratory and its clients. Unlike other businesses that provide uniform products or services, a film or video laboratory must tailor its services to suit the individual needs of each particular client. For such relationships to work well, the client must also have a general knowledge of the processes, capabilities, and limitations involved in laboratory services. Communications between the laboratory and the client must be in a language that is understandable and familiar to both parties.

As a member of The Association of Cinema and Video Laboratories, WRS is striving to provide up-to-date information to it's clients and others interested in the technical aspects of making movies.  The information on the following pages is exerpted from The ACVL Handbook and is provided for your use.

No handbook or website can pretend to answere every question.  If you need further assistance on a particular matter, please e-mail
us at info@wrslabs.com.  We're delighted to help!
