Episode Synopsis
S5E06: Training Talk
The role of post production supervisors in film and television production is receiving a boost through new micro-certifications, crucial to smoothing the way a project moves from preparation to delivery.
The certifications are a joint approach from Avid and the organization Post Super, whose founder is the latest guest on the Making the Media Podcast.
Gemma Nicholson says there has been a clear gap in the market for training people in the role to be better prepared for the challenges they face.
