Roundtable's Service
Roundtable's Post Editor started the project in Jordan where the film was shot and prepared. FCP was used to prepare the project by managing the rushes, syncing up audio and recording translation before returning to the UK where the film was then edited over 10 weeks.
Roundtable Films worked closely with Nick Broomfield to improve the setup to enable a system that allowed the film to be cut on two edit suites simultaneously.
