Description
Much of the work of film and television comes after the cameras have stopped rolling and is managed by the postproduction manager or associate producer. Aiming their work at people that occupy those positions, Clark (Executive Director of Technical Services, 20th Century Fox) and Spohr (Customer Satisfaction Representative, CFI) present a guide to the process that attempts to present enough knowledge of the technical aspects for managers to do their job, while simultaneously covering personnel, legal, and budgeting issues.
