My Sister's Keeper places trust in Laser Pacific's aIM dailies

mysisterskeeper_stillNick Cassavetes' new movie My Sister's Keeper stars Alec Baldwin, Cameron Diaz and Abigail Breslin in an adaption of the Jodi Picoult novel. The story is about a thirteen year old who was conceived as a genetic match for her cancer-stricken sister and is seeking emancipation from her parents. The movie was shot by award-winning cinematographer Caleb Deschanel, ASC. Both Cassavetes and Deschanel were initially insistent that they wanted the dailies to be printed on film. New Line approached Laser Pacific to see if aIM dailies could be used as an alternate approach. The calibrated HD dailies transfer could be used as an alternative to print dailies as well as for viewing copies for the studio and for input into editorial.
