OVERVIEW

Webcast: The Evolution of Post-Production: Unified Sound and Picture

Date: Tuesday, December 15, 2020

Time: 11:00 AM Pacific Time 

Duration: 1 hour

Since the advent of recording, which led to the emergence of post-production, sound and picture have been treated largely as separate disciplines. Put simply, once the picture editor is finished and the project is “locked,” then the sound department takes over and adds effects, music and dialog to complete the project.

That is changing. Thanks to technology advancements and procedural changes brought on by the global pandemic, creatives are beginning to see the advantages and efficiencies of a unified workflow, one where the picture is never technically locked, and sound and picture editorial can be handled by the same individual. Walter Murch, the esteemed Oscar-winning film editor and sound designer, said it clearly in his Keynote speech at the 2020 edition of Mix Presents Sound for Film & Television: The disciplines are coming together.
