Bad workflow renders filmmaking clumsy and costly. Good workflow saves time and money, leading to a better end product. DPC II focuses solely on the latter.

At DPC II our approach is hands-on, offering participants personalized expertise to overcome the real-time challenges they are encountering on the projects they have brought to the workshop.

We also offer technical solutions via intriguing case studies, expert panel discussions and group sessions to overcome workflow dilemmas. So even if you don't attend the workshop with a project, you will leave primed with the skills and tools to manage future workflow.

We explain the step-by-step process of decision-making within post-production, guiding participants in terms of materials delivery and media archiving.

Preparing for eventual distribution is essential to the filmmaking process. DPC II will therefore enable you to make the correct production choices, such as camera hardware, to suit the distribution strategy you wish, whether theatrical, broadcast or internet-based.

The best planned ‹post› starts in ‹prep›!

"DPC II amazingly fulfilled my expectations and even more; I indeed not only benefited on the technical aspects, the digital wording I can now use knowing what it means (at last!), a methodology to better approach my future productions but also, feeling more confident, I have gained in freedom and creativity as a producer. I can dare actively discussing some key choices regarding the digital workflow with the crew members and the post house, which has improved the communication between us and teamwork. Last but not least, I must confess I have the feeling to better control the whole pre/production/post-production process and the cost of the films I produce."
