> And you don't see if it was a good shot for weeks. Often the next day, which is why they called them "dailies": > The term "dailies" comes from when movies were all shot on film because usually at the end of each day, the footage was developed, synced to sound, and printed on film in a batch (and later telecined onto videotape or disk) for viewing the next day by the director, selected actors, and film crew members.
