Before it can be delivered for broadcast or distribution, every television show or feature film must undergo a complex and lengthy process after the scenes have been shot. When this process is not managed properly, the result is a project that is late and therefore over budget and losing money for its backers, because the distributor will not pay until the show is delivered. This book, written by two experienced associate producers, takes the reader through every step of the post production process, explaining the technology in non-technical terms and detailing what must be done before moving on to the next step. The book includes a number of insider tips, sample forms. and reports that will simplify these tasks, as well as a glossary of terms. Because of the recent growth of production, there is increased demand for knowledgeable staff in post-production.

A former nurse and mother of three children—two with special needs, Barbara Clark was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer in February 2005. During her treatment, she found that there existed a drug, Herceptin, that would double survival chances for her particular form of cancer from 14%. However, it wasn't available on the National Heath Service (NHS) and therefore, for Barbara, unaffordable. In the midst of aggressive chemotherapy, Barbara, incredibly, found the strength to fight not just the NHS but the government, and to win the right to be prescribed the drug on the NHS, not just for herself but for thousands of other women. This book tells the story behind those headlines—how she first found her cancer, and what it was that gave her the will to battle on and take on, not just the disease but the authorities who were prepared to let her die for want of a drug. Barbara's reasons for living are her three children, and their stories and how they dealt with her cancer are uplifting and inspiring. Herceptin has treated Barbara's cancer, but it doesn't guarantee a complete cure—rather, it buys her more time to care for the people who are most precious to her, to help other women, and to pursue her passion for life.
