Post Production Supervisors Survey 2026

Last year, Televisual conducted its first dedicated Post Production Supervisors survey. That survey asked PPS’s about the evolution of their role within the production ecosystem.

A year on, we’re asking Post Production Supers to take a much shorter survey, this time gathering your views on the rise and fall of post and VFX budgets, the use of AI and for your feedback on your preferred picture and audio post and VFX suppliers. The responses will form a special report in the upcoming Summer issue of Televisual, publishing in early July.

We invite you to comment as far as possible and as always you can choose for any quotes to be attributed or non-attributed.

You can save your progress at any time and return to finish completing it at a later date.
