WHAT COMES AFTER TRAINING

The “Made in NY” Post Production Training Program prides itself on training top-notch entry-level post employees who are prepared for a wide range of positions available in this growing industry. Graduates go on to work in jobs at post facilities and on post teams in NYC that are creating some of the world’s most popular films, television shows, commercials, and music videos.

Above all, our graduates are excited about post and hungry to learn more while working in the industry they love.

Entry-level post employees often:

• Perform client services and receptionist duties
• Prep media for editing; collect and organize files
• Organize post production paperwork
• Handle shipments and deliveries
• Go on runs for equipment and other needs

Getting a foot in the door at a post facility can lead to exposure to many different facets of post production. Once there, if graduates show a willingness to learn, they can sometimes climb up the ladder quite quickly, with the goal of entering more technical positions in a variety of disciplines such as color correction, visual effects, and audio mixing.
