Editing/Finishing
The rules of the road are first to know where you’re going, and then to be smart about how you get there. Workflows - custom-built by our talented team of editors and technicians and fueled by our leading-edge integrated production pipeline - drive the finishing process. We work as efficiently as possible in order to save our clients time and money and guarantee a smooth ride to project completion.
Whether our clients need our help with the creative cutting of their project or just creating the finished master, we are happy and equipped to help. More and more clients prefer to handle the creative editorial and bring us their project and media and let us apply our signature Finishing Process.
With file based workflows such as those utilizing RED technology, the editing & finishing process can be anything but straightforward. In fact it is as much art as it is science and the dynamics of post production must be adapted to match. Staying ahead of the technology curve is part of our job so let us do the heavy lifting while you deal with more important things.
Assembly/Conform
In order to accurately capture source tapes or files and elevate them to the highest quality possible, we depend on the best in class technology and engineering. Our Avid Unity and FCP SAN allows multiple editors to collaborate in real time on the same project. But the juice truly comes from the level of detail we consistently achieve by combining the right tools with highly skilled online editors. Cut-by-cut and compared via split screen, we do what it takes to ensure a perfect match to the offline version.
Titling/Graphics
There’s never a lag when it comes to titling and graphics. Often we’ll prep files while working on other aspects of the project (i.e., color, audio) or provide support for those do-it-yourself filmmakers with tight time and/or budget constraints. Efficiency and consistency – whether it’s for one show or across an entire series – is once again the hallmark of the work we do.

"As an independent filmmaker, you are often pushed to the bottom of the priority list but the talented colorists, online editors and administrators took great care to see that my feature film was given the utmost attention… West Post Digital is a well-oiled machine right down to the last detail – which includes my favorite lollipops in the edit bay!"
