ABSTRACT

Now that postproduction is complete and you’ve got your DVD with the burn (“For Viewing Purposes Only”), it’s time to go back and look at the festivals where you’ve sent your initial version of the film. Remember, that version had no color correction, sound design, composer’s score, or final main or end credits. So it’s time to get the fresh completed DVD off to them. Because pirating has become so frequent, you may want to consider placing your burn a little higher on the screen. Our sales agents have recommended that we do this on our last few films. It’s a bit more distracting, but it does discourage pirating.
