HAS POST CHANGED FOREVER?


television and movies. And post production has been at the forefront of revolutionising the way it works to keep the show on the road. Now, as we tentatively get back to some sort of normal, are the changes wrought by both lockdowns and the enormous influx of work into the UK from the streamers here to stay?


The last couple of years have seen seismic shifts in working practices across the world of

Are remote working/on prem changes permanent?


Simon Kanjee, ceo, Evolutions Yes, some of the changes are permanent, in order to accommodate budgets, but also for people who don’t necessarily all want to be in the office 100% of the time. We can now offer much more cost-effective models - if you’ve got a 12 week edit, you can do the first half in your office or at home, and then the latter half in a facility to craft and fine tune. Productions can find editors in any part of the country or the world to work with.


Dave Cadle, Envy Remote working in offline isn’t going to go away beyond Covid. Having surveyed all the offline editors that have worked with us since the start of Covid, over 70% prefer a hybrid model. It’s clear to us that for offline, flexibility is key going forward, to enable offline editors and producers to work how they want to whilst also allowing PMs to access talent across the country.


Jay Makwana, Commercial Director, Storm Parsec is now a permanent part of our set-up, because it allows the flexibility of us working with editors from around the world. We now work on projects that we previously wouldn’t have, purely due the fact the producer can remotely hire an editor from abroad (or who’s not necessarily in London).

Richard Folley, Md, Splice Some projects are still fully on prem as they used to be. But in terms of our remote investment, they are all permanent. We see it carrying on.


David Klafkowski co-founder Oneracoon The centralisation of data storage and backroom process is permanent - why move large amounts of data unnecessarily when it has such an impact on both daily operations and the environment. We are also aware of our responsibility to support our staff, freelancers and clients’ work-life balances.


Alex Meade, md, Fifty Fifty Change has been rapid and universal in the past 18 months, a majority of these changes are here to stay in some capacity. To what extent will be driven by client experience and the benefits they bring - whether that be a technological, financial or working environment.


Ian Dodd, Head of Post Production, dock10 The ‘remote’ way of working is a permanent change, as to how it will develop, we will see as the ‘new normal’ gets established. However, we can see that the ‘remote option’ for editing will remain a permanent service offering.


Rowan Bray, md, Clear Cut Production is a team operation, both organisationally and creatively, clients have reported that working remotely can be isolating and creatively limiting. However, on other occasions, where the team know each other well and the staff are fully experienced, remote solutions suit the project well.


What are the limitations of remote working?
