S5E06: Training Talk
The role of post production supervisors in film and television production is receiving a boost through new micro-certifications, crucial to smoothing the way a project moves from preparation to delivery.
The certifications are a joint approach from Avid and the organization Post Super, whose founder is the latest guest on the Making the Media Podcast.
Gemma Nicholson says there has been a clear gap in the market for training people in the role to be better prepared for the challenges they face.
Our Guest this Episode:
Gemma Nicholson
Gemma Nicholson is one of the co-founders of Post Super alongside her sister. The inspiration behind this was a desire to create a platform that post management could tap into for community, information, training, and tools.
Post Super is a personal passion project for Gemma, who had spent over 22 years in post production. Gaining a wealth of experience from working on prestigious and diverse projects, such as multiple Harry Potter films and massive high-end episodic television productions like Netflix’s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Gemma was first a sound editor, then a successful post coordinator and supervisor, and it was through her experiences as the latter that she came to fully understand the frustrations and needs of the post management community. Gemma gets excited about the information and training part of Post Super, and she runs multiple courses on post supervision for the NFTS, ScreenSkills, and has recently partnered with Avid Technology to create Avid Post Super Micro-Certifications.
