It is not always clear which professions in post production exist in Vancouver, nor is there a definitive resource that clearly lays out career trajectories within each sector of our industry. That is why we have created this new resource page to show the many avenues and occupations one can take.
The sector specific links below will give you a detailed rundown of each department’s function and inner workings, showing how each job may pertain to the general workflow of a project.
We have laid out descriptions of the various jobs per department; pointing out the positions that require advanced training and knowledge of specific software and programs; versus some jobs where you are being trained as you go. We have also included expectations on experience when hiring for certain positions, which jobs are freelance vs. full time employment, and which positions may require union affiliation. Most importantly to those just starting out in their careers, we have flagged which positions are entry level.
Our hope is that these resources provide the necessary information for those new to the industry to help guide them as they look to lay the foundation of their own professional development and growth.
