Release print

A release print is a copy of a film that is provided to a movie theater for exhibition.

Definitions

Release prints are not to be confused with other types of print used in the photochemical post-production process:

  • Rush prints are one-light, contact-printed copies made from an unedited roll of original camera negative immediately after processing and screened to the cast and crew in order to ensure that the takes can be used in the final film.
  • Workprints, sometimes called cutting copies, are, like rush prints, copies of a camera negative roll. They are used for editing before the negative itself is conformed, or cut to match the edited workprint.
  • An answer print is made either from the cut camera negative or an interpositive, depending on the production workflow, in order to verify that the grading ('timing' in US English) conforms to specifications, so that final adjustments can be made before the main batch of release prints is made.
  • A Showprint is a very high quality projection print made for screening at special events such as gala premieres. It is usually printed directly from the composited camera negative, with each shot individually timed as a duplicate intermediate element would normally be, onto a higher quality of print stock than is usual for mass-production release prints (e.g. Eastman 2393 for showprints, and the standard 2383 for mass-production release prints). As a showprint is at least two generations closer to the composited camera negative than a typical release print, the definition and saturation in the projected image is significantly higher. Showprints have been colloquially referred to as "EKs" (for Eastman Kodak), since "Showprint" is a trademark.
