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 client’s 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:
Assembly/Conform
In order to accurately capture source tapes and elevate them to the highest quality possible, we depend on the best in class decks and engineering. 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.

Color Correction
If there’s one area we can honestly say moves us above and beyond the curve, it’s our color correction powered by the da Vinci 2K system and an outstanding team of colorists led by 20(+) industry vet Matt Lear.

"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!"
