The Los Angeles Post Production Group (LAPPG) is a member driven organization for anyone with an interest or passion for film finishing and the post-production process. It is an opportunity to have questions answered, advice given, stories and tips shared and lessons learned. This supportive community inspires its members to excel in the finishing process of all forms of digital content. The LAPPG is an open membership group and its members dictate what is of interest.

Unlike many user groups, the LAPPG is not platform specific and discusses all aspects of post production, from color correcting to red camera workflow, to the latest rotoscoping tools and techniques. A special emphasis is placed on audio post production, as this seems to be an area that is not well represented in other groups and communities.

In this ever-changing technology based industry, the LAPPG enhances its members’ understanding and abilities in post finishing and broadens their overall knowledge and skills. Our core competency is post-production but we will not be limited to those skills. We share techniques, tools, and best practices for telling great stories. We also promote member collaboration by sharing our work in a supportive environment and creating opportunities for our members to flourish.

The LAPPG meets the 2nd Wednesday of every month at 7:00pm. We respectfully request a $5 admission fee at the door. The Founder and Moderator for this group is Woody Woodhall, CAS, President of Allied Post Audio, an award-winning audio post house for film, television, commercials and multimedia.
