HAS POST CHANGED FOREVER?


THE DEBATE


continue to be because they appreciate the level of service they are requiring.


Is talent an issue both post- Brexit and with an increased volume of HETV in the UK?


Natascha Cadle, Creative Director, Envy There is a huge demand for staff right now, throughout the whole industry, in post as well as production. There is certainly not enough talent in the market to fill the current roles available. Our philosophy has always been to train people.


TU, The Look Yes, convincing clients to work with creatives they are less familiar with has always been a challenge, however it’s likely that they will have to adapt to a post team creative experience rather than having the same person for three weeks.


DK, Oneracoon There is clearly a shortage of talent across the board. With the US market committing to making more content in the UK this is only going to become more accentuated. There is no doubt that our industry needs to attract new talent.


JD, Fifty Fifty It definitely feels talent is light in this current period as we see a large boom in commissions and productions post Covid. Hopefully this provides an opportunity for the industry to invest in training and allow the next generation to come through.


SK, Evolutions Talent is an issue now - whether it’s post- Brexit or post-pandemic, I don’t know. We are actively trying to engage with local sixth forms and schools to


welcome young people from more varied ethnic and social backgrounds into our industry.


BH, dock10 Many things are an issue post-Brexit and post is no exception to that. However, post production is a very resourceful sector and it will adapt to the challenge along with the inevitable rise in associated salaries for some.


RB, Clear Cut There is an emerging drain of talented staff into production roles (for instance PPS and inhouse editing assistant roles) fuelled by the demand of streamers and international broadcasters. The production community are looking to source those staff members from the highly trained post-production community. Funding for training in the broadcast sector has been heavily weighted to the freelance community for many years, leaving post-production to train its staff without any financial subsidy. While those trained staff were retained in the post community it was a sustainable model, if expensive, but if those people start leaving the post sector for jobs in production and have to be replaced with less skilled staff then the resulting skills shortages will affect the whole post-production sector.


Have you increased your investment in on-set work?
