The following is a common filmmaking joke phrase:

If something is not working right while working on a film you just say

“We’ll fix it in post”

According to the informant it means that you will let the editor deal with it.

The informant also added that it is said by a lot of newer people but describes it as less funny the longer you have been there.

Context: this was collected during our in class collection time

Thoughts: I think it’s kind of funny how the reception of a joke can show how long you have been in that business, if you are a newcomer you will laugh more than a veteran. It can sort of outline your status. I also find it funny that the joke is technically about not wanting to do work, so you are passing it off to another person. I found that to be a common idea in many occupational jokes.
