Your first priority is finding the best talent. You need a talented editor with a great support staff. Your second priority is renting the best equipment and finding facility space. We cover it all.
Fix It In Post provides the ideal setup for editing and finishing your feature film. We provide everything from creative offline editorial all the way to your final finished master. Through various partnerships with other companies, we can offer the full post-production experience beyond just the creative process: Sound post-production (including foley, ADR, and mixing), music and score composition, color grading, and final high-definition mastering.
Fix It In Post is the next generation of editing feature films. Gone are the days of ultra low-resolution offline edits; we believe your project should be at the highest quality from day one of editorial. To save money associated with the costs of editing a low resolution offline, we cut everything in high-definition from day one. This negates the need for costly and time consuming down-conversions, and more importantly, you have a high quality cut of your film available anytime for audience test screenings and distributors that eliminates the need for last-minute temporary onlines, saving much-needed creative time and money.
Our editorial workflow is the ideal setup for productions that need to work on a shoestring budget but don't believe in sacrificing quality. Whether your budget is $500,000 or $15 million, every dollar you save in post is another dollar you can put in front of the camera.
Whether you shoot your project in 35mm or HD,our workflow is the same: We take your high-definition dailies and digitize directly into our shared fiber storage system via AJA Kona high-definition hardware. No need for low resolution down-conversions; working at DV or Avid compression is a thing of the past. From day one, you will see your film at compressed high-definition resolution. Having a professional-grade screener for an audience test screening is no longer a weeklong conform away - it's now a couple of hours to go from the edit bay to the theater.
As soon as final picture is locked, we can conform your film at full resolution and then coordinate the final color grade and master. If your film originated on 35mm, we'll take care of any finishing needs whether you want to conform your original negative, do a 2K Digital Intermediate, or online from HDCAM-SR telecine masters.
We also work with the RED camera post-production workflow.
We are a Final Cut Pro high-definition facility capable of editing and mastering in any resolution available from low-grade DV to 1080p 10-bit HDCAM-SR.
Our main client suite is designed specifically with the busy filmmaker in mind. Whether you're a producer stopping by for an afternoon approval or a director who will be working beside me for twelve weeks, expect to be comfortable in a relaxed, homey environment. Kick back, relax, and enjoy watching your work on an 82" high-definition projection screen. We believe in living the theatrical experience through the entire creative process.
We also offer the ability to access material remotely from anywhere in the world. We have several options for viewing dailies and approving cuts. The standard feature package offers DVD dailies like any other facility, but we go two steps further. We can offer access to streaming dailies from any computer in the world with an Internet connection. And with our premium package, we can literally mirror our media from our central server to any computer that has a network connection. No streaming or downloads - the media will literally sit right on your computer and update as it changes on our end. Whether it's your laptop and you want dailies access from your desktop, or if you need a remote edit station or a dailies projection room, we can stream our high-definition dailies or low-res proxies to any location on the planet. This is especially useful for sound post as it give the sound facility instant access to the current cut. Constant outputs, revisions, and change lists are no longer necessary.
To speed up the client viewing and approval process, we also have a secure web-based FTP site that clients can securely access with a unique username and password. This allows for remote viewing and immediate response, rather than waiting hours or days for DVD's to be sent via courier. High speed wi-fi is also available.
Fix It In Post is a full-service creative facility, not a post factory or a dubhouse. Because we are a boutique facility, we have the ability to upgrade our equipment constantly and remain current with the latest cutting-edge technology. Our overhead is extremely low as we expand and contract with each individual project, so as we end up making a little money, you end up saving a lot. We pass our savings onto you. We price our facility rental fees below our competitors in the industry. You'll be paying less for our high-definition equipment than you would pay for standard definition equipment at any other facility.
