There’s no Such Thing as a Lock Off

With the massive 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 and David Gross from Definition Films for this one day seminar.
