Brian Sherwin, a post-production veteran, has been instrumental in the success of hit TV shows like Yellowstone, Ugly Betty, and Pachinko. With decades of experience, Brian discusses his journey from starting out as a post-production assistant to becoming a post-producer, emphasizing the evolving nature of workflows in the media industry. He notes how technology has changed the way teams collaborate, especially during the pandemic, with remote tools like Clearview Flex allowing producers and executives to participate in color correction and visual effects sessions from afar, streamlining the process without compromising quality.
Sherwin also shares insights into balancing remote versus in-person workflows, often dictated by executive preferences and geographic locations of shoots and post-production. His experience with global teams, such as working across Los Angeles, New York, and London for Pachinko, highlights the flexibility required to manage complex projects. He acknowledges that while AI is starting to assist in tasks like visual effects tracking, it hasn’t drastically changed his role in overseeing the workflow. Despite challenges faced by the industry, Sherwin remains optimistic about the future of scripted TV, noting that while production slowed during the pandemic and strikes, the industry is gradually finding its new normal.
