Description
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.
