This 2,5-day workshop gives producers, executive producers and production managers the methods and tools to

  • choose the best digital production workflow for their feature film projects
  • to optimize the communication between the various partners involved, from the director to the postproduction provider.

Using case studies of low and medium-sized feature film budgets (1 - 3,5 million Euro), the workshop compares, from shooting the film to delivering the copies, the most reliable solutions available in Europe, from high to low end.

The second part of the programme is devoted to the review of the participants' projects, in particular to define the possible options in terms of format and workflow, including their implications in terms of organization, planning and costs.
