The Offset Podcast
A show about post, workflow, technology, and people
The Offset Podcast is a semi-monthly (twice a month) podcast hosted by postproduction industry stalwarts Robbie Carman & Joey D’Anna - we’re professional colorists, educators, and polymaths in video postproduction and color. We’ve been told our detailed, informative, and easy-to-follow explanations of even the most technical subjects have helped people at all levels to improve their workflows, tackle their technical/creative problems, and even improve their approaches to business & client communication.
Geared towards postproduction industry professionals, each episode feels like catching up with valued peers and is the perfect length for the average commute, lunch break, or to keep you company while you work.
