SATURDAY, OCT. 24, 10:00 a.m. - Noon via ZOOM - 

If the word "post" doesn't always refer to social media in your world, chances are you're in production. Which means you've either said or heard "fix it in post!" But what REALLY happens after production calls "wrap"?

Join APA Members - Editor Misty Wilson and Visual Effects Artist Paul DeNigris - along with guest artists - Sound Mixer Abbott Miller and Colorist Tom McCoy - to find out!

Each speaker/instructor will give a 20-minute presentation followed by a Q&A with attendees, following by a group Q&A with all of the speakers after the final presentation. Presenters include:

TOM J. McCOY is a director and colorist from Phoenix, AZ. While I started my filmmaking career as an editor, I've grown to want to create my own work, writing and directing. As a director, I have not always had the luxury of a post team, so I've grown to wear many hats over the years. My love for color and working with DPs has increased year over year, always trying new looks and styles with every project. I've learned that color is the key to mood and can drastically change the context of any scene. I'm looking forward to talking about my process and I hope it can open the eyes of some who may not be as familiar with the vast world of color.
