Join Amy DeLouise for an in-depth discussion in this video Future-proofing your project, part of Video Editing: Moving from Production to Post.
- You've worked so hard to get your project…to the finish line, but you're actually not quite…there, yet, because actually, one of the other things…you really need to discuss between your producer and your…editor is how you want to future-proof your project.…And what I mean by future-proof is not just what you might…need next year, but are there things you might need…in the years ahead that you can't even envision?…One of the things I like to do, Luisa, is I like…to think about projects that I know I'm probably…going to need to revisit something in about a year,…like maybe there's just an annual update.…
Maybe something in five years, because there might…be turnover and I've done interviews with the CEO…and now there's a new CEO, so I'm going to…have to replace just maybe one or two things.…And then, something that's really going to be in…a long term archive, this is is some kind of historical…project about the 100th anniversary of some organization…and they are always going to want to keep every piece…of this project.…
