Best Kept Secret
The Finish Line and Vaudeville have been providing a remote and embedded post production service to Transistor Films for years, delivering beautifully crafted finished shows. Production budgets and time available are familiar challenges within production and always under pressure. The efficiency savings that Transistor Films can achieve by working this way can be translated into creative execution. But they don’t really want you to know about it.
Founders, Daniel Jones, Vaudeville Sound Group and Zeb Chadfield, The Finish Line
and robust remote working infrastructure and team of finishing assistants who can support a production from pre-planning through to mastering, QC and delivery. Vaudeville Sound Group works in the same boutique way. With up to 50 freelance mixers on its books, Vaudeville can curate a shortlist for the execs and the director to choose from based on the project needs. For the producers, both companies can manage most of the work remotely – either at home or for audio in Vaudeville’s offices, including Atmos HE, in central London, the US or Canada – before setting up embedded facilities within the Indie’s offices. For those companies with sufficient throughput, these facilities can be more permanent, while having the advantage of being centrally supported. Working backwards from the deliverables, the two specialist facilities work together to design and implement the best possible workflow for the production, supporting the producers from pre-production to final delivery to the highest specifications (Dolby Vision/Atmos), with one post producer as a dedicated point of contact. Better still this approach is time and cost-effective, allowing the production team to focus on the series or film and direct more of the budget into creative fulfilment.
“The biggest concern I had with embedded and distributed post production was that it would be complicated to manage the different entities and resources, and doing this with four concurrent high profile series meant my concerns were amplified! I didn’t need to be concerned at all.
“We had one point of contact for each production and at no point did it feel fragmented. They looked at what we had to work with internally, what each production wanted and the needs of each editor, and then designed a unique solution for each series that could tick all the boxes. Right down to building an external facility for one of them because we ran out of space internally!
“Being able to scale up and down all of the post production resources along the way was very liberating and allowed us to make sure our budgets were all going on screen.”
Bernie Costello Head of Production Transistor Films
“I’ve been desperately trying to keep The Finish Line and Vaudeville to myself for years. Sadly, the rabbit is well and truly out of the hat now and I’m going to have to get used to sharing them!
“Like all production companies we are always trying to deliver well beyond what the budget may allow. This is the main thing that working with such experienced teams provides us - they know how and where to get creative; then where to put the most energy into; ensuring what ends up on screen both looks and sounds amazing. It doesn’t matter what challenges the content might give, they always have the solutions and deliver to the absolute highest standard every time.
“The talent at The Finish Line and Vaudeville is simply the very best in the business.”
