Data management

The data management and processing of entries is handled by the Department of Post.  NZCS does not directly handle media or data. The Department of Post is an established professional post production house and sponsor of NZCS, and they are used to handling and processing all sorts of confidential client projects.  Aside from publicity clips, the data and files will be erased after the NZCS Awards.

 

"We fight to keep post production workflows simple and understandable yet produce content to the highest international standards."
