MPTS: State of the Nation

In common with all other aspects of post-production, facilities specialising in audio post-production, sound design and foley have had to cope with a slowdown in demand for their services in response to the lack of commissioning in the UK and the US writers and actors strikes. How did post houses cope and diversify to mitigate against this loss of work? Are things now looking much brighter for the audio post-production sector? Is work now starting to stack up once more, and is further investment now required to satisfy this demand? This session discusses all this, and also looks at the tech impacting audio post in 2024, and in particular how GenAI developments are making a mark on audio post-production.
