Leopard Films conversion to HD and Workflow






I have accepted the offer from Leopard Films; Leopard is perhaps most famous for Cash in the Attic , but it does other variety of shows and has made dramas too.
I am now overlooking the postproduction and managing the edit assistants. In my first few weeks I have set up various seminars and presentations to talk to the production teams about HD, Tapeless Workflow best practices. The team and I have set up various checkpoints and milestones to track the progress of our conversion to HD and Tapeless.
That means managing, consolidating and Offsite storing many tapes and digi-betas and when I say many I mean 15 thousand to be precise
We are running on Avid Media Composer 5 now. I am still working on what kit is best to buy with the budget given to Edit in HD more updates on that soon.
