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 personalised 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›!

«The more you know as a producer, through the workflows, from the
beginning of the process to the very end, and even down to the granular information, the easier it will make your job, and the better you will understand where frustrations along the way come from – and how to avoid them. It is an incredible advantage to know about how things are made and built, and all the [associated] technical details.»
