Key Information
-
Post Production encompasses all the elements of TV creation after the cameras have stopped rolling. It is where all the rushes or raw footage are pieced together and polished to perfection to create the glossy stories you see unfolding on your screens.
There are numerous stages of the Post Production phase and it covers multiple technical and creative roles such as sound-mixing, editing, visual effects (VFX) and colour correction to name but a few.
The beauty of great Post Production is to enable a viewer to be fully immersed into the world unfolding before their eyes
