Standards and their impact on work-flow!

Problem Solving

Working between two post production environments has undoubtedly thrown up some problems relating to work flow. With one environment equipped with a full 5.1 monitoring system and the other with a 2-channel system, tasks needed to be scheduled to suit each environment where possible. However, it was not always possible to have the luxury of the 5.1 or Ambisonic system all the time and as a result some 'work arounds' had to be employed. For example, when editing multi-channel audio using only stereo monitoring, an element of reliance upon standards had to be employed. Once a series of tasks had been carried out they then needed to be double checked using the appropriate replay system and amendments made where required. This added a degree of complexity to an already complicated process.

Once I had a firm grasp of how the two environments differed I was able to ensure that consistent standards were adopted in each. I was then able to proceed with relative ease. With an extremely focused and organised approach I was able to carry the post production tasks successfully.
