This is a great topic that I frequently discuss with my local filmmaker circle... First off... Garbage in, garbage out. You're not going to get great post production audio if you didn't capture great production audio. Most of the local films I've seen haven't really put the production effort in... audio is typically an after thought. From there, knowing basic EQ and Compression techniques (no need for fancy plugins... the built in stuff can get the job done)... you're 99% of the way to a professional sounding audio mix for your film.
I absolutely endorse you sharing your knowledge Spacewig! It's imperative that filmmakers understand audio.
I'd be very much interested
