Jeff Wexler Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Although I am not a fan of more categorization or more sections, I have sort of warmed up to the idea of having an area that is tailored for post-production. I AM a big fan of production people and post people working to minimize the fragmentation and mis-information that comes from keeping these two disciplines apart. Open communication is vital, not only for important pre-production specifications coming from post-supervisors (often the ONLY communication lots of Production Sound people ever have!), but more importantly for the intrinsic value of a complete understanding of the whole process. The hope is that this new section will encourage MORE communication rather than less, and particularly as an encouragement for our Post-Production members from whom we can all benefit. So, we'll see how it goes, having this new section, but don't let the new section intimidate anyone, you should all still feel free to post anything you want, wherever... the new section, however, might be very beneficial for those who are really interested specifically in post-production issues.

old school Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Good section to add IMO. Many members here do both. I ran across this in the NYTimes today about Gary Rydstrom and his work on War Horse . A good quick read for those who like sound fx and post sound.

afewmoreyears Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 A bridge communication wise between the two areas of sound will prove helpful to both Old and New mixers and the same from the Post side... Great Idea.... I am sure people will learn a lot in both areas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I like to keep an eye on all the posts, so it makes absolutely no difference whether you add a section or not... View New Content shows me everything that is new and then I can pick whatever I want to read. But for those who visit the site less often and must rely on filtering by Category to reduce the number of posts, it seems like Post-Production would certainly be a welcome addition.

John Blankenship Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Laurence makes a good point. For us regulars, it's not such a big deal, but for a new, or occasional, visitor, it could make the site more useable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan McL Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Ah. Yes. Just as it should be. Thanks, Jeff. Hope we will all reach out to post mavens as opportunities arise; their enhanced presence here can only benefit everyone. Can't wait for the synergy to blossom. -- Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I didn't know synergy could blossom --- but you know I am totally onboard for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Smith Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Works for me. As a former re-recording mixer, I am always encouraged to see anything that will help out with communication between production and post. --S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David A-Ribeiro Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Thanks Jeff! As I wrote elsewhere, I think this new section could stimulate discussion not only between members who work in the field and those who work in the studio, but also between those (like myself) who are still beginning and still did not have the chance (or necessity) to choose one path or the other (and so do a bit of both), and the folks who are well established in their expertise areas. And now, I´m off to read the new posts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
