DOCUMENTARY POST-PRODUCTION



Over two decades of experience, we realised that one of the biggest challenges of producing films in the countryside of the state of São Paulo was post-production. With the high prices and logistical difficulties of post-production in the capital, we soon felt the need to create our own infrastructure and have our projects finished here.
We then started investing in equipment, staff and know-how. If we started these processes out of necessity, we ended up getting the hang of it and gradually improved our technique, formed a team and developed our own method. And after a long time dedicated to our own productions, we decided to offer the service to other production companies with the desire to strengthen the "caipira" and "caiçara" cinema.
INFRASTRUCTURE

1 - Production / Support
monitoring the project from start to finish, managing the post team, schedules, appointments, screening tests, deadlines and final deliveries.
2 - Pos-production lab
Post ideally begins even before the shoot. We help define the workflow, think about formats and backups. Here at Cisco we do LTO and server backups. We also prepare the material for editing and liaise with the editor.


4 - Davinci Resolve / Color Grading
Colour correction in Resolve Davinci in 4K, air-conditioned room with capacity for colourist and 3 other people. Calibrated 4K 65-inch OLED monitor screen.
3 - Protools / Sound Edition and Mixing
Sound editing and 5.1 or 2.0 mixing in an air-conditioned and acoustically treated room. The room can accommodate the editor(s) and 3 other people.
Monitors with dual calibration: mix for TV or cinema.


5 - Accessibility
Complete accessibility for audiovisual works: Brazilian Sign Language, Descriptive Subtitles and Audio Description. In partnership with the GRETA APP, we provide accessibility for any exhibition.
6 - Mastering and Deliveries
Deliveries in all formats: Streaming, TV and Cinema (DCP).

WORKFLOW
This workflow contains basically everything we do at Cisco in detail and chronologically. Each project comes to us at a different stage and may (or may not) go through all the processes listed below. There are also those that start and end here - in these cases, we end up doing everything.
