The Post-Production Process - Outside Hollywood

This is a nice little graphical diagram of a film style workflow, kinda fun to see how it all goes 'n flows.

Kudos for good information design - left to right is departments (effects, film lab, editorial, music, sound), top to bottom is time flow). Description from the site:

The double lines represent image data, solid lines; audio, and the dotted lines are timecode, shotlists, or EDLs. Assuming that we shoot on 35mm film, the camera and audio recorder are timecode-synced, and the film can be developed and telecine’d to get our dailies throughout production. As soon as post-production begins, we begin our first off-line edit using the dailies (with timecode embedded).

An all digital (as in digital origination not film) workflow wouldn't be hugely different from this.
