Unit stills workflow

How unit photography moves from the set to the distributor — shooting, curating, approving and delivering key selects, with the file handling that keeps the archive intact.

Unit stills are the promotional photographs shot on set for posters, press, streaming artwork and social. Between the photographer pressing the shutter and a publicist receiving usable images sits a surprising amount of work: curation, talent approval, captioning, metadata and secure delivery.

These guides walk through that pipeline end to end — how unit photography is captured and managed, and how approved key selects are delivered to distributors and sales agents without losing edits, metadata or track of what was signed off.
