I agree, Sam Sokolow! I've never thought about it in that way before and now I'll never think of it the same way again.

Great post, Ashley Renee Smith. So many projects are pushed through faster than they should be if you ask the filmmakers. This is an important read.

Maurice Vaughan

It's really brutal for visual effects artists, Ashley Renee Smith! I understand that companies are on schedules, but bad CGI affects profits.

Eon C. Rambally

Thanks Ashley Renee Smith. I've made the same post a couple days ago in the your stage lounge, it's one of those must discussed subjects!

Mike Boas

This is one of their best videos. Funny, challenging, heartbreaking. I’ve dealt with these challenges even at the indie level.

Ashley Renee Smith

Agreed, Maurice Vaughan! It's particularly rough when the demands come from people who don't understand the craft.

Post Production Supervisor

Does anyone have any experiences working with a Post Production Supervisor? What sorts of things did they help to do? Did you feel that their input was vital to your project or did it fall into a 'wants' but not 'needs' category? I'm sure it depends on the type of project, so what's your personal ex...

Thanks Brad! I'm already in talks with a production company called Atomic Cartoons, but yes, I'll need an EP to put together my team. Do you have a strong EP in mind?

Brad Carpenter

Cee Whirx, That's great to hear. I'm not able to recommend EPs for projects. Hopefully Atomic Cartoons can help you with that.

Thank you for providing such wonderful answers and clarity, Brad Carpenter!
