Synopsis

Are you an associate producer who needs to juggle projects and vendors while keeping on top of the latest trends and formats? Or an independent filmmaker who can't afford a misstep in the crucial postproduction phase? Take a step back and get a clear overview of the process. This guide will show you how to navigate each step in taking a TV or film project from production to final delivery. Start by getting a handle on the critical issues of budgets and schedules. From there, you'll learn the smoothest way to manage dailies, sound, editing, and completion. Detailed instructions and checklists for film, video, and High Definition procedures will teach you new ways of doing things and help you avoid costly errors.

The second edition is fully updated and information-packed. There is extensive new material on high definition as it affects dailies, editing, and delivery. The chapter on the film laboratory has been expanded further to include discussions on troubleshooting film damage and YCMs, which are so important in maintaining film assets. The latest information on film restoration, digital technologies, acquisitions, and a chapter on what's on the horizon round out the update.

From the Author

Finally, a book on the entire postproduction process!
Until now, a book laying out the entire postproduction process had not been written since the early '80s. Much has changed since then.

Our goal is to teach people how to successfully post their show and not go insane along the way. Postproduction can be a very long, complicated process. Our book follows the postproduction process step-by-step, in the order the work should be done to be most cost-effective and efficient. We've provided many forms and practical tips, along with enough technical information to allow for informed decisions. The (3) scenarios: film-to-film, film-to-tape, and tape-to-tape are covered for each step. We wrote in non-technical terms and even threw in a bit of humor and our own post-experience anectdotes.

Feedback has been great. Many of our sales have been repeat business from people, postproduction facilities, labs and production companies who keep loaning out their books and not getting them back!
