MANAGING POST-PRODUCTION – By Niko Remus
To kick off the plenary sessions of the workshop this session will give an overview of the full 6 day workshop and how we approach the online workshop situation.
As technology has developed in the past years and keeps developing from here on, the knowledge on how to handle the workflow, the budget and the schedule is what is often lagging behind. Getting a better understanding of this and keeping the focus on the creative work is the goal for the days to come.

UNDERSTANDING COLOR – Color Spaces for Non-Colorists – By Juan Galva
The world of color spaces and color management is more relevant than ever before – and it’s never been more confusing! Juan will break down and clarify the basic concepts through analogies and avoiding technicalities, in order to create a mindmap for you to navigate the next time these terms come up in a contract or in a meeting.
It’s not about knowing the ins and outs of color science – it’s about identifying the concepts, putting them in context and understanding the broad implications.

DIGITAL WORKFLOWS, DELIVERABLES – By Neeltje van der Heijden
Organizing deliverables for a digital project, especially in a co-production, is one of the most challenging tasks when completing a film. The numerous formats and ever increasing demands from world sales and distributors and changes in how films are released are adding to the complexity. Neeltje van der Heijden will show you how the put together a comprehensible list, and walk-through the different elements. With all that is required – which materials do you really need and what could you negotiate out of your delivery schedule.
11.30 – 12.45
MANAGING SOUND POST, A Virtual Studio Tour – By Niko Remus & Ansgar Frerich
This plenary will give an overview of the basic steps in the sound workflow for a feature film from the POV of a post supervisor. With samples from different projects, this session will give insight into handling and connecting the different people involved in sound post production, starting with the sound mixer on set, the dialog editor, the sound designer, the Foley artist and the re-recording mixer.
Ansgar Frerich will give a virtual tour through his studio, BASIS BERLIN, adding from his perspective to the different tasks in sound post.

VFX – FROM PREP TO POST – By Dennis Kleyn & Violette Kleyn
Using a number of actual production case studies, this session will look on the „best practices“ within a creative workflow. The focus will be on the communication and exchange between the VFX department on one side, and the director, the DOP and the producer on the other side. At what point should a VFX supervisor be involved? Why are storyboards and previs so important for a good preparation?
How can „invisible“ VFX help the narrative of a film? Dennis will show how to create a VFX-roadmap in a project and how to get the best results for the available budget.
