POST
ROUNDTABLE Our best work is done when we work together.
AI and ML will only get more sophisticated in assisting artists with their tasks, at whatever stage it is used it will still need a specialist to finesse and refine the results according to client expectations.

a standard way with the documentations, and then by replacing parts of the process with SaaS tools. If in the future we were able to build a post company in the Cloud, we can have SaaS tools that can perfect the workflow. How long would it be before the creatives - who are a big part of the post house attraction - set up their own office in an Airbnb work style, and then start off their own post production company?
A lot of work can be done remotely, although on the flip side, if you’re mastering a theatrical production, you want to work on a project within a theatrical environment. If you’re listening to an audio mix, you want to listen to it in a proper room.
CAVE The facility of the future will continue to offer complete flexibility, allowing clients to work how they want, where they want. Automation will improve efficiency of background tasks and AI will assist the creative process; from making assets easier to find to making sync pulls and, for some genres, rough cuts.
Using a combination of on-prem and cloud in a hybrid fashion will become the norm, but we will stop referring to it as cloud and will just concentrate on the services that different providers offer. Facilities exist not because of tech, but because of great creative and project management teams, who will be as essential to the process in the future as they are now.
NELSON At its core a post house is centered around its people. It is a unique space, a hub where creativity can thrive. It is about giving the stakeholders the freedom to review whenever and wherever they like. It is our job to create an environment that allows artists and creatives to perform their best work in the most collaborative and flexible way possible.

MALTBY When we were planning the migration of our finishing systems to a remote data centre, it was critical that the user experience remained identical to what they were accustomed to with the equipment on premise. Latency of any sort would have quickly seen the project abandoned.
Our goal, as we move to a future that includes IaaS and SaaS solutions, remains the same, and we have worked hard to homogenise the user experience between technology in our data centre and that in the cloud. This ability to scale is something that the streamers we supply to have been actively encouraging.
NOTTAGE You need the interpreters, which is where we come in. We are the skilled people within the post production house and are the translators to the creative team that are not necessarily as technical. Not everyone understands that. Some people do, but I think with post, we’re just talking about the technical workplace, I think it’s more than that as well. It’s a physical place that people can go to, and I don’t think it becomes a faceless interaction. We’re in a transition
period which hasn’t yet run its course. But it is notable how people came back to work on prem.
Post-production businesses will inevitably downsize their physical footprint in response to the growing trend towards remote working. This contraction will primarily affect offline editing rooms, as there will still be demand for controlled environments such as audio dubbing theatres and colour grading suites. While offline editing suites enable in-person collaboration, the model is likely to shift towards booking rooms on an as-needed basis for occasional days, rather than reserving them for the entire editing period.
SASSEN The future of post production will look comfortingly familiar for our clients and creatives. It will still be all about working with exceptional people, training the next generation, providing the services our clients need and all in beautifully designed facilities, with the best technology allowing us to create the best possible content with local and remote teams. However, for post facilities to survive and thrive, underneath this frictionless layer of services will be an incredible amount of technological change at all layers of the infrastructure. Along with this, efficiencies will have to be found through the use of hybrid cloud, automation, ML and AI.
