Digital Imagining Technician

DIT with editorial focus

As a Digital Imaging Technician (DIT), I’m responsible for the secure handling of all digital footage during a shoot. This includes offloading media from camera cards using professional checksum-verified software, creating backups, and tracking data volumes across shoot days. I return cleared cards to the camera department and ensure nothing is lost in the transfer.

DITs also act as a bridge between the camera team and post-production. I create dailies using the DoP’s LUTs - often tailored to scenes or lighting setups - and organize them into day-based and scene-based folders. These dailies are shared with departments like continuity, costume, and directing, supporting visual consistency and daily decision-making. Depending on the production, I may also create temporary visual effects, sync audio, and prep editing projects in Premiere Pro to expedite post workflows.

In 100 Litres of Gold (dir. Teemu Nikki), I worked as both DIT and assisting editor for lead editor Jussi Sandhu. I created full backups and dailies during the shoot, rough cut the entire film alongside production, and coordinated closely with lead editor Jussi Sandhu on project structure and material handover.

For season 2 of Mental (Sekasin), I worked as the DIT throughout production and was responsible for preparing the editing workflow. After the shoot, I continued on the project as an editor.

I particularly enjoy workflows where I can be involved from set to post, combining technical precision with editorial intuition, and building continuity into the project from the very beginning.
