Post Production Finishing

Catalog description

“Locked Picture” is just the first step in finishing a film, TV show or Project. The process of going from “Locked Picture” to an actual finished film with all the deliverables needed is a complicated one. This course covers what to expect from a DIT or on-set data manager. What is expected from a post-production supervisor, and what music supervisors do, and why they’re important. How to manage VFX, from a finishing point of view. How to prepare for turnover to Color and Sound. Other subjects covered will be how to prepare for festival submissions and strategies, festival deliverables, distribution deliverables, subtitling best practices. It's a crash course in everything you need to know so that your project doesn’t suddenly die and languish in post and can actually reach the finished product stage. There will also be an intensive introduction to the technical craft of color grading, teaching what is, and isn't possible with a colorist. You will go through the process of getting a project from picture lock, conform, color grade it, and get it to a state where it’s ready for delivery.
