Film Service Workflow Overview

• Consumer passes 35mm film(s) over counter to retailer
• Retailer completes job bag (max 6 films per bag)
• Retailer takes money upfront for film processing (* this step can be done after the film returns, if the retailer decides)
• Retailer posts film job bag to 1st Digital via Australia Post
• 1st Digital Production received film job bag. Each job bag has been 1 and 6 (max) films in it.
• The films in the job bag (max is then processed and scanned into 1000x1500 pixel JPG's at a high quality setting, which equals about 1Mb to 1.4Mb each in file size).
• Each film is then individually uploaded/transmitted to the remote TPC kiosk via the Internet. Each film is an individual job, even if the job bag had several films in it. The retailer must burn each one individually onto a CD for the consumer. This is because the consumer may be getting their film(s) + parents' film(s) + friends' film(s) processed at the same time, so need them to be separate.
• The retailer receives notification of the film being downloaded via the same mechanisms as an online order (beep + email + number in top left corner of kiosk screen)
• The retailer burns each individual job to its OWN CD i.e. does not combine all onto one CD.
• If a consumer has asked for prints from the film service, then the retailer will need to print the jobs and put them in separate photo wallets, also.
