Organizing a film shoot is a complicated endeavor. However, it doesn’t get much simpler when you reach Post-Production. With the edit, grade, sound mix, music, VFX, and deliverables all to worry about, there are a lot of moving parts to Post, with a lot of challenges to plan for and overcome.
Fortunately for you, The Filmmakers’ Podcast has teamed up with The Cutting Room to offer a comprehensive walk-through of the entire process. Join us on Zoom on Saturday, July 22nd at 1pm BST, when our team of film professionals will guide you through all the elements you’ll need to plan, all the people you’ll need to hire, and all the questions you’ll need to answer in order to effectively schedule and budget for post-production.
Post-Production Supervisor Shaheen Schleifer ( Blue Jean, Gangs of London) will tell you how to keep one step ahead of the demands of managing your schedule, budget, and your team, and will demonstrate how to connect all the pieces in order to ensure as smooth a process as possible.
Giles Alderson (The Dare, Three Day Millionaire) will explore how he tackles Post as both a Director and a Producer, two often very different roles which both still require an overview of the whole process.
Finally, Editor Neil Lenthall (Wolves of War, Confession) will explain how the edit, often the longest stage of Post, can be run with the cutting room as the central hub of Post, and how you can make the best use of your time in the edit.
You will also get a copy of our Post-Production Plan, which contains more than 60 questions you will need to answer in order to make the right decisions and build your own detailed plan for Post. This is intended to give you a comprehensive guide through each stage of Post to ensure that you have addressed everything you need to address ahead of time.
