What exactly is post production?
Post production is a process involving a team of multi-disciplinary professionals, including editors, sound designers, foley artists, colorists, and more. At Phosphor Studio, we understand each project is unique, and we tailor our approach to meet your specific needs and goals. Whether you’re working on a television show, a feature film, or even a video game, our team of experts will ensure your post production process is exceptional.
Stages of Post Production
Picture editing is where the magic begins. You provide us with an Edit Decision List (EDL), and we bring your story to life by cutting the film in a way that enhances its impact. With our years of experience and expertise, we’ll provide valuable input that saves you time, money, and unnecessary stress.
Assembling footage is a meticulous task that takes time. The first draft of the film, called a Rough Cut, eventually evolves into the final masterpiece known as the Answer Print. Once the director is satisfied with the visuals, we’ll move into what is called picture lock.
Sound Editing
Our talented sound editors assemble the audio tracks, cut dialogue, remove unwanted noise, and enhance your movie with captivating sound effects.
Sometimes, additional audio work is needed through ADR (Automated Dialog Replacement) to ensure every line of dialogue is crystal clear. Our sound engineers and sound editors excel in this process, bringing out the best in your film.
Original Scores
No film is complete without a captivating soundtrack. That’s where our composers come in. They create original music that perfectly complements your film. Eliminate the need to license other people’s work, and save time and money in the long run. Remember that you have to renew licenses from other online service providers or that you may have to in the future.
Audio Mixing
Mixing is the art of balancing all the audio elements. Our skilled sound mixers adjust volume levels and ensure every sound is precisely where it needs to be, creating a rich and immersive audio experience for your audience.
Visual Effects (VFX)
To add that extra touch of visual magic, we utilize Visual Effects (VFX). Our VFX team, led by a talented supervisor, uses state-of-the-art technology to create stunning visuals that bring impossible scenes to life. Whether it’s flying dragons or simple explosions, our team handles it all with skill and creativity.
Colorists
Color is an unsung hero in visual storytelling. Our colorists work their magic, digitally altering shots to enhance continuity and reflect the scene’s tone, giving your film a visually captivating look.
Titles, credits, and graphics
Titles, credits, and graphics are the finishing touches that give your film a professional edge. Our editors meticulously create these elements, ensuring they capture the mood and tone of your project, leaving a lasting impression on your audience.
Distribution
As the post production process nears its end, we help you prepare for distribution. We provide an M&E track for international sales, allowing for dubbing in different languages. If you’re looking to showcase your film in theaters, our team can create a Digital Cinema Package (DCP) that encodes the final copy of your movie for distribution.
Trailer
Finally, we can create a one-to-two minute trailer that captures the essence of your story. Our expertise in pulling out the most defining and noteworthy moments from your film will create a highly engaging trailer that leaves viewers excited for more.
