Oakslade Studios Invest In New Technology To Simplify Post-Production Workflow

Regional post-production house Oakslade Studios recently invested in new technology to increase speed, cater for a wider range of HD formats and add colour grading to its service offering.
Phil Brice, founder of TV Commercial production company Koala, said: "We had to edit a television commercial in two days. It was a relatively simple cut - but we were able to encode and transmit the result directly to IMD for broadcast transmission, all at Oakslade Studios. This was a real bonus as it cut out an entire stage from my post-production workflow."
Thanks to recent investment, Oakslade Studios was able to online the advert, encode a copy for client and BACC approval and output in 50Mbps MPEG2 to send directly to the media distributors for transmission.
Head of Post Production Ed Moore said: "It’s incredible what the latest software solutions will allow you to do – providing you’ve got a powerful enough hardware infrastructure.
“Of course it’s also about reliability and security – you need to know the system you’re working on is going to work every time, not just ‘in theory’, and this is something we’ve worked hard to perfect."
Oakslade Studios offers soho-quality post-production in the heart of the Midlands countryside, a short distance from Birmingham.
