Post-Production Supervision

You're Three Weeks Out—And Post Isn't Planned

You're three weeks from shoot, half your permits aren't locked, and your post plan doesn't account for the delivery schedule your distributor just sent over. Or you've got a locked picture and no infrastructure to get it through QC, legal documentation, and delivery. Either way — we've been here.

We run post-production from locked picture through final delivery. Coordination, mastering, legal package assembly, compliance, shipping to distributors — and nobody gets surprised by a call at 2am that something wasn't compliant.

What a Post-Production Supervisor Actually Does

Post-production supervision is the orchestration layer between creative and delivery. Not an intermediary. Not a consultant. The person who runs post from locked picture through delivered film.

That means you:

Coordinate Editorial

  • Lock editorial timeline and specs (frame rate, resolution, aspect ratio)
  • Manage conform and color input specs
  • Track title sequences, credits, visual effects integration

Manage Post Pipeline

  • Color supervision (dailies through final DCP conform)
  • Sound mix management (5.1/7.1 laybacks, stems)
  • VFX supervision and delivery integration

Oversee Mastering

  • DCP mastering (2K/4K, HDR, Dolby Vision if applicable)
  • IMF package assembly and compliance
  • Digital intermediate deliverables and archiving

Handle Delivery Management

  • Legal package assembly (chain of title, E&O docs, clearance reports)
  • QC review and platform compliance
  • Distributor submission and final sign-off

What We Actually Handle

Post-Production Management

We coordinate your entire post workflow — editorial locking, color supervision, sound mix management, VFX integration, and mastering. If you already have an editor, colorist, or sound mixer, we work with them. We don't replace your team; we manage the pipeline. If you don't have a team yet, we bring one in.

Delivery Management

We assemble the complete legal and technical package for distribution. That includes chain of title, errors & omissions coordination, copyright registration, credit statements, distributor-specific submissions, and QC management through final acceptance.

How We Work With Your Existing Team

We're not gatekeepers. If you already have trusted editors, colorists, sound mixers, or VFX supervisors — we work with them directly. We manage the timeline, the handoffs, the specs, the QC, and the delivery. Your creative team focuses on the work. We handle coordination and logistics.

If you don't have a full team assembled, we bring one in. We work regularly with:

The structure is the same either way: we set specs, we track progress, we manage interdependencies, and we deliver a complete, compliant final product.

Budget and Schedule: Scoped by Principals

Every project is scoped by actual producers, not intermediaries or coordinators. We look at your locked picture (or your production plan), your delivery schedule, and your budget, and give you a real number. No hourly billing surprises. No scope creep conversations. No bait-and-switch on who you're working with.

Here's what we need to scope a project:

We'll walk through options, trade-offs, and realistic timelines. Then we'll give you a fixed fee. That's it.
