  Hey guy, mind if I like, make a copy of this video using my own camera and stuff?
  I think it’ll be a great way to get to know my camera and vegas and cubase and blah blah. I always had alot of gear but not much direction. If I set myself a task of duplicating this video, who knows maybe I’ll get somewhere.

  The truth is that “post-production” is occurring almost from the beginning, before any film (or video) ever is rolled through a camera.

  The process begins with a decision to make a project and deciding why the project is being made. Most movies are made as “for profit” investment enterprises. Most short films are made as “calling cards” for aspiring Directors to impress the professional industry. Documentaries are made to make a point and hopefully, somehow, recoup the expense that it takes to make it.

  So, with those questions in mind, a Producer must look ahead and decide what the best format will be to distribute and exhibit the final product with. Film? Video? Theatrical? Television? What outlets (Discovery Channel? HBO? National Geographic? direct to DVD?)?

  The choice of format will drive the post production protocol. Exposed film will go to the lab for processing and A) printing and/or B) telecine (digitizing). Shot HD footage (electronic image acquisition to tape or harddrive) MUST BE backed up to protect from data loss.

  If editing digitally, the digitized or captured images are usually put into the editing system at a low resolution. This is called “off lining.” When the visuals of the project are finished, the “picture is locked.” This process of editing generally occurs all throughout physical production so that the filmmakers know what is working, what isn’t, and if scenes need to be reshot or if new scenes need to be added. The Editor will be cutting on his own, but eventually, the Director will sit with him and a new cut will be made. Other interested parties (Producers, Executives, etc.) may inject their own opinions and new versions are created. When everyone is happy (or over ridden) then the picture will be locked.

  All the while, the soundtrack is being edited. Original dialogue tracks from the set are cleaned up. An ADR process may take place if the original dialogue tracks are not useful. The Composer and/or Music Supervisor will also be working to write and record music or will find and acquire the rights to use existing music.

  Post Production Sound will assemble tracks with foley, sound fx, dialogue, and music.

  The locked picture will go to Post Sound where the soundtrack is mixed and married to the picture.

  There are many different tools available for picture Editors and Sound Editors. Which are right for you depends a lot on your own budget and capabilities and what the project requirements are. Most professional Editors will begin as Assistants as they learn the process and the equipment and the politics involved.

  Below are some links that should help guide you toward the education and equipment you need.

  Good luck!
