(FPA), a local post production company with over 20 years of combined creative and technical experience, to create and deliver Interoperable Master Format or IMF packages.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FullPostAsia has thus become&nbsp;one of the key post prod&nbsp;facilities&nbsp;in the Philippines to secure this approval from the American media services provider and production company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Netflix, which allows members to watch films and shows without commercials on an internet-connected device, has&nbsp;recently&nbsp;benefited from improved business operations&nbsp;during the quarantine period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere was a month-long training period for accreditation that involved both technical and hands-on examinations,\u201d&nbsp;FullPostAsia&nbsp;CEO and President John Anthony L. Wong recounted. After its accreditation, FPA has now become a \u201cfulfillment partner\u201d of Netflix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IMF is the mastering format being utilized by the subscription-based streaming service.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This&nbsp;file format is more robust because of its technical specifications. The standard encoding setting for each IMF package is four times that of a Digital Cinema Package (DCP). It can also handle both HDR and SDR Color reproduction.&nbsp; Currently, the format supports HD and&nbsp;Ultra HD 4K&nbsp;resolutions at varying frame rates. It supports all major audio formats ranging from the usual Stereo mix to the 5.1 and 7.1 norm, up to the de facto Dolby Atmos format. The componentized media format gives the opportunity for producers to&nbsp;future proof&nbsp;their content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wong stressed that preparing an IMF package is not a simple point-and-click procedure. \u201cIt requires a detailed naming convention and&nbsp;a thorough understanding&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;standard&nbsp;audio and video&nbsp;specifications,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FullPostAsia&nbsp;is currently working on two local titles, one of which is \u201cHayop Ka! The Nimfa Dimaano Story,\u201d the Philippines&#8217;&nbsp;first fully animated film on Netflix set to premiere on October 29, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Avid Liongoren film, set in a world populated by anthropomorphic animals, has a voice ensemble that includes Angelica Panganiban, Robin Padilla, Sam Milby, Empoy Marquez, Piolo Pascual, Arci Mu\u00f1oz, Eugene Domingo, Yeng Constantino, Moira dela Torre, and Bb. Joyce Bernal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe plan is to offer IMF creation and delivery across South East Asia and make the Philippines\u00a0a\u00a0hub for this kind of service,\u201d Wong, fully aware of the rapidly growing streaming media landscape, revealed. \u201cWe specialize in providing world-class\u00a0post production\u00a0services for feature films, commercials and animated projects. You can expect the highest level of quality with an internationally recognized team using the latest software available today.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netflix, the premiere online video streaming service, recently approved FullPostAsia, Inc.
