About this episode

This episode discusses the challenges and processes of quality control in production and post-production.

In this installment of The Offset Podcast we're discussing quality control or QC for short. If you've worked in production & post for long enough, you've probably encountered QC challenges and QC reports. While passing QC can sometimes be challenging - understanding what it is, how it works, and how (at least most of the time) that its not personal attack can go a long way to treating QC as just like any part of a project pipeline. Some of the specifics we'll explore in this episode include: When & where does QC happen? Understanding QC specs & why they're sometimes challenging The importance of communication in the QC process What are the goals of QC How is QC performed? Internal QC & client trust QC severity flags & understanding 'inherent to source' Check out offsetpodcast.com for our entire library of episodes.
