The Machine Room hooks up with 'Bad Girls'

News Image
Full-service London facility The Machine Room is posting the fifth series of the award-winning ITV1 prison drama ‘Bad Girls’.
Work on the new 16-part series started back in October 2002 and it has just begun airing on ITV1.
Produced by Shed Productions, this is the first series of 'Bad Girls' to come to The Machine Room. The latest series was all shot on Digi-beta and then conformed in The Machine Room’s linear editing suites by Rob Schofield and Ronnie Newman before moving into smoke for some extensive filmic effects, rotoscoping and removal of unwanted objects. Gerry Gedge carried out the final tape-to-tape grading on the company’s Thomson Shadow telecine.
Brian Park, Executive Producer at Shed, said: “We were very impressed with The Machine Room's track record of posting high-profile TV dramas both creatively and efficiently. Their range of equipment and talented editors were a winning team on Bad Girls 5. And at a time when operating costs have become increasingly crucial, The Machine Room offers a competitive price and quality unmatched in London.”
The Machine Room has over 11 years’ experience of providing professional services to the film, television and video markets.
The company offer clients – including the BFI, IWM, TWI, Paramount, MGM, MTV and the BBC - highly experienced operators with cutting edge technology to provide non-linear editing facilities, HD post-production, DVD authoring and encoding and film mastering and treatment services.
