Today was my second day with Trailblazer Studios, and today I worked with the post-production department. I spent the day reviewing an episode of Sister Wives with a group of editors and producers who have been working on the show for a while. There were four of us in the room and one gentleman who called in from L.A. There was the editor/finisher, Alan, who does most of the final touches on the show such as stabilization, color correction, and brightness adjustments. There was also a coordinator from Figure 8 who is a producer of the show, as well as a woman from Trailblazer Studios. The specific episode of sister wives we were reviewing was a two hour special. The whole review itself took about three and a  half hours total. However, after the review the editor still had a lot of work left to do making sure the show was ready to send to TLC. Despite a few connectivity errors with the guy calling in from L.A. the review went very well, or not very well depending on the point of view. From what I was told there were more fixes than normal which would mean more work for Alan, but good that they were able to fix all of the them, so long as Alan had time. Alan talked to me a little bit about the things he was  trying to fix, and I learned a lot by listening to the kinds of things that were noted both during the review session and while Alan was editing. I will definitely keep those things in mind the next time I go out for a shoot, or sit in the editing booth. Ha! That rhymes.
