What is iwantdcp.com?

3/11/2021

 
www.iwantdcp.com is powered by production company FRENEL based in Greece. FRENEL provides specialised post-production services.  You can simply upload your film and let us bother with DCP authoring and any other deliverable without hidden costs.
It’s a simple procedure. You can choose the package of services that fits your needs, you proceed with payment, upload your film and after two working days, you will receive your film in the digital form you requested. You can also ask for physical mediums (CRU, HDD, USB thumb drive) to be shipped to you. If this all geek to you and you just need your film to play in cinema or broadcast, feel free to contact us. Behind our screen, you can find Dimitris Manousiakis and Orestis Psomopoulos.

DCPs and other deliverables are created by specialized technicians and not by an automated computer. We use the latest versions of professional hardware and software such as easyDCP creator+, player+, KDM generator+, calibrated Flanders Scientific monitor and a full equipped color grading suite. We perform Quality Control during all stages of production to achieve the maximum quality in every single film.

What deliverable files can you provide?

3/10/2021

 
www.iwantdcp.com can provide the most common export files along with your DCP file. We can export your movie on formats for broadcast, internet, or cinema. Choose among the available options or just contact us and we can arrange a budget-friendly quote for your special export needs. We are experienced in delivering multiple versions, transcoded files with proper file naming, versioning, detailed metadata, reports, and quality check by software and humans.

What is a DCP?

3/9/2021

 
Digital Cinema Package (DCP) is the digital negative of a film, in high quality and includes the picture, audio, subtitles, and auxiliary data elements. Each one of these elements follows strict specifications and standards during authoring to ensure that the final DCP is compatible with any cinema screen and DCP server around the world. 

DCP is the only digital solution that can achieve performance, reliability, and quality in screening compared to other file formats such as PRORES, MP4, or DVDs offering the same quality of image and sound across the world.

There is an option for encryption and easy delivery through the internet offering privacy, security and availability 24/7 around the globe.

Accessibility for disabled people is now available through DCP’s capability to deliver captions and video with signed language for hearing impaired people and audio description for visually impaired people.

Last but not least you can always re-version your film. New subtitles, new sound mixing, festival credits, or distribution credits can now easily be added, edited, or removed without the need to replace the original copy. Logistics are now easier.​
