REFRAME
No Such Thing as a Lockoff
With the massive and exciting advances in digital technology, post-production has become a fluid, iterative process involving extensive re-editing, re-mixing and re-mastering. Is this a good place to be, and where are we heading in the future? Join Producer Andrew Mason, Editor Matt Villa, Sound Editor Wayne Pashley, Assistant Editor Christine Cheung, Editor & Colorist David Gross and Producer Tim Kriebig who will be looking at how technology has made filmmaking a whole lot easier and more creatively satisfying – as well as the challenges that they have faced. If you want to stay current, don’t miss this one day seminar on 11 April! http://www.aftrs.edu.au/short-courses/reframe_no_such_thing_as_a_lock_off/5636
