Post-Production Supervisor Services

Post-production supervision in China runs through a tight cluster of Beijing and Shanghai facilities that the international and domestic feature work routes through — Base FX in Beijing with its LA-coordinated pipeline, More VFX, Digital Domain China, MPC Shanghai, Mindwalk Studios, Light Chaser Animation, the Beijing Film Group Post and Shanghai Film Studio post houses, plus the streaming-platform post operations at iQIYI Pictures Post, Tencent Pictures Post, Huayi Brothers Post and Bona Film Group Post.

Here is how this works in practice. Our post supervisors come out of that community and hold the named producer contacts at the VFX, picture-finishing, sound-design and music-clearance desks that the Chinese feature pipeline cycles through. They bridge Mandarin and English on dailies, review sessions and delivery QC, and they sit inside the CFCC co-production final-cut certification workflow that gates theatrical release on every official co-production.

The picture on the ground is more specific. NRTA delivery specs for theatrical release run alongside the platform specs for iQiyi, Youku, Tencent Video and Mango TV streaming, and the international finishing layer covers Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime and the festival masters that route through Cannes, Berlin, Venice and Toronto.

Operationally the supervisor holds the workflow from picture lock through final master. Our supervisors manage editorial cadence in Mandarin and English, coordinate VFX vendor reviews across Base FX, More VFX and MPC Shanghai, route sound editorial and final mix through the Beijing and Shanghai mix stages, and supervise the colour-finishing pipelines that meet both Chinese theatrical delivery standards and international HDR and Dolby Vision masters. Cross-border data movement runs through the Cybersecurity Law, Data Security Law and 2021 PIPL framework that govern footage and post deliverables leaving China.

A few details matter here. VPN limitations, approved collaboration tools, named secure-transfer providers and SAFE foreign-exchange compliance on USD/CNY post-budget reconciliation all sit on the supervisor's desk. The Qingdao 40% production rebate paperwork routes through the Qingdao Film Bureau alongside the CFCC certification, the Hainan tropical-incentive paperwork closes against the Hainan Provincial Film Bureau, and the final master holds against NRTA review with the bilingual deliverables list signed off before wrap.
