How much storage does a full scale digital film use daily?

[paulclementsuk]

Hi I was wondering whether anyone here might be able to answer the question of how much storage would a major studio motion picture filmed using digital use?

Lets use Star Wars as an example... in a day how much mb or rather gb of data would they create in dailies?

I'm estimating roughly 1 gig per second. Totally estimated though.

You'd figure number of pages per day @ 1ppm x shooting ratio (number of takes) x memory displacement per minute... I think.

The Cineform guys that co-developed the 1-Terabyte Wafian HDD recorder said that they shot a feature with that system at 10-bit 4:2:2 HD, and all the raw footage fit on a the 1-Terabyte array using their CODEC.

its somewhat of an odd question,

its somewhat of an odd question but, i would have to got with 1GB per minute it makes sense..

A camera like the Dalsa Origin, Thomson Viper or Panavision Genesis, reportedly outputs 1.2 Gb per second, or 1 Tb per 14 minutes (that's with compression). They record directly to parallel RAIDs.
