the latest post production technologies and new workflow advances.

survive the onslaught of creative demands and supposed technology advancements.
Adrian Scott will lead a panel titled "The Cures for Today's
Challenges," which will discuss the experiences of yesterday and today, as well
as the pressures pros face to deliver faster and better packages. Topics will

recordist (Harry Potter, Bond, The Golden Compass); Lee Herrick, feature dialogue/ADR supervisor (V for
Vendetta, The Golden Compass); McKay; and

production. A cocktail party will conclude the evening. Those interested in
