Tools, Techniques and Workflows for Film Post-Production
My name is Henry Karjalainen. I work as a freelance Post-Production Supervisor, Post Production Consultant and Assistant Editor based in Sydney, Australia.I provide expert advice to producers, directors, executives and editors on the best path and options for their film projects. Further, I supervise all aspects of the post-production process from concept through to delivery - negotiating a path through budgets and delivery schedules.
Now more than ever filmmakers have a myriad of choices during acquisition and post-production, which affect picture quality, working speed, workflow efficiency, budgets and importantly, creative direction.
Post-production is complex and no matter the size of the project there will inevitably be important choices to be made. Without adequate post-production control, productions may face a range of problems which will hinder the orderly completion and success of the project. The impact of high-resolution data acquisition and delivery, further demands informed post-production expertise and supervision.
An important maxim to remember is that planning for post-production should begin as early as possible in pre-production.
Post-Production Workflow Innovation
The best post-production workflows cover the entire arc of the filmmaking process in relation to both picture and sound - that is, the workflow covers every stage from pre-production planning or digital storyboards; to image acquistion during principal photography or digital creation; through to the final delivery and archival of the film.Needless to say, post workflows also encompass a total vision for the project. The pipeline leaves nothing to chance and takes place in a highly managed environment with attention to lots of detail. The best workflows simultaneously engage new technologies and exisiting systems to create an efficient process.
Current and Recent Projects
Currently, I'm working as Finishing Supervisor, Happy Feet 2 at Dr. D Studios for Kennedy Miller Mitchell. Recent projects include Post Production Supervisor and First Assistant Editor on the Animal Logic and Warner Bros. feature animation Legend Of The Guardians; and as Post Production Producer on the claymation feature film Mary and Max.In early 2007 I completed work on the feature No Reservations as Assistant Editor. In 2005, I worked on Peter Jackson’s King Kong in the Editorial Department as 2nd Assistant Editor.
