WELCOME

W hat is post-production circa 2019? Shouldn’t we now see production as one huge technical wobbling jelly gradually setting as we approach TX or release? (But then there are always styrofoam coffee cups to cut out after the fact #GoT.) To understand the near- and long-term future of post-production, we have summoned up a virtual round table of people whose business is post in all its forms. We don’t promise to change the world with our discussion, but do hope we can turn over some stones to reveal a new way of thinking about things. To that end, we have also carried on our ‘Women in...’ series with this issue looking at, you guessed it, post. Pursuing the ‘post’ theme even more is a look at the design and installation of edit suites in lieu of some powerful new software, such as Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve 16 with its new collaboration feature set – there have been several million downloads of this software, iterations unknown, so it’s the nearest thing we have to an NLE standard. If you can’t get enough of all things post, then look out for our article on extended data for post from ‘smart’ lenses.
