A Long Relationship Built on Trust
Industry heavyweight, October Films has been working with The Finish Line and Vaudeville since 2014 and was one of the very first Indies to adapt their post production style to post remotely with fully supported, embedded finishing within their offices. Better still, October Films can choose the most appropriate finishing artist or mixer for the project from a broad talent pool while still having the advantages of a familiar single point of contact and a senior team who understand their requirements.
POST IN THE CLOUD
A coming together of boutique picture and audio post
An early adopter and innovator, Zeb is continually asking, “can we do this more intelligently, more efficiently and better for everyone involved with a better outcome? You can only do this by being on top of technology.” “We always love to be involved in pre-
production. What advice can we give for the shoot to get the highest quality starting point for the grade? We bring a drama style DIT approach to everything we do which helps with the number of projects we handle for streaming services. With significantly faster processing on Resolve, colour management throughout and no need for round tripping during final post this saves on time and transcodes. This also makes HDR delivery simple to implement as well as improving image quality throughout post.” Kate adds “we also prefer to be involved at an early stage so that we know what’s coming and to ensure a smooth ride. It’s important to get quotes over as accurately as possible to iron out the details and then we can volunteer talent options. We can offer about 50 mixers and then amalgamate our quote with TFL and create one integrated final post offer. Luke continues “We have been running LucidLink as our primary storage since 2019 so were ideally placed with an infrastructure that fitted the moment. LucidLink makes it easier to manage all our data without external drives. It also means that any of our mixers can pick up a project and with Vaudeville having further facilities in Burbank, West Hollywood, Culver City and Vancouver can follow the sun should turnaround times dictate, as they do for Hulu’s The Kardashians.”

Zeb is also a fan of MASV to move media quickly and efficiently. Working remotely in the cloud, “can seem more expensive to run than a traditional facility but is more than made up for by efficiencies and reduced overheads. MASV’s pricing structure helps us remain competitive
“Working with Vaudeville and The Finish Line is about more than just good post production. They have a wide-ranging talent base which enables the team to select who they work with. Having them conveniently housed on site means regular contact with the team which enables clearer communication from the very start of production and significant cost efficiencies.”

Director, Production and Operations October Films
“Working with The Finish Line and Vaudeville is always a straightforward and supported experience. Having them on site provides a seamless and joined up approach to the picture and audio post and they work as one with our in-house team.
“Knowing that I can always pick up the phone and talk with a member of the team who knows us and our needs makes everything easy and they are a great bunch of people, all of whom know their craft brilliantly.
“We’ve worked with The Finish Line and Vaudeville on a huge range of projects for a variety of broadcasters and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others for any project.”
