It's amazing how adaptive companies and individuals have been.
A lot of my post clients have remote just about all of their facilities to staff at home.
It's not ideal and less effective but it does work.
That's buying them time for now but they will get the hit later down the line when the lack of shooting results in less post.
For me commercial training has gone on hold but my uni training has ramped up to remote sessions.
And we launched the UK Post Production Technical Apenticeship scheme last week and I'm developing and delivering the content so we won't starve.
The rest of my time is helping freelancers by remote sessions unpick their Avid issues or plug the gaps they now have without a facility on hand. Doing remote QC sessions so lucky to have a full set up at home.
I think we are at the very early days of the real impact.

Let's not be melodramatic. Nothing has 'killed this list.' These are extraordinary times and people are being affected in desperate ways. Let's cut ourselves some slack here and be kind and compassionate.
Again, as a community of not just automaton editors, but of living human beings, we should be grateful and welcoming of expressions of empathy, concern, and solidarity. Marching along only uttering words related to non-linear editing in times like this seems, to my sensibilities, to be cold and sadly isolating.
As well, many of us are freelancers and are facing especially challenging months.
Stay safe, everyone.
