A major year of reorganisation at Picture Shop’s UK arm. The Farm brand was phased out in early summer by overall owner Streamland Media with its picture division now part of Picture Shop and its sound arm now in Formosa Group and vfx wing part of Ghost VFX. Technicolor Post was also acquired in 2021 and, says Picture Shop, “we have successfully integrated the global real estate footprint, facilities, and world class talent roster into Picture Shop and the Streamland Media network. This expands Picture Shop’s reach across North America, Canada and Europe and allows us to have a fully connected global network to collaborate

and provide our clients the ability to seamlessly work across continents from front end services all the way to delivery.” Despite its size, Picture Shop has also grappled with talent shortages. “One of our focuses in 2022 was setting up the Post Operators Skills Training (P.O.S.T) Scheme, with support from Jigsaw24 Media, to help fast-track the progression of our
staff and ultimately help feed the industry with well trained and well-prepared young professionals to be the next generation of TV talent. The P.O.S.T Scheme is designed to provide the rapid upskilling for entry-level post-production technical operators. It’s an intensive, two-week course which fast-tracks the progression of new starters at Picture Shop.”

In terms of its project highlights of the year, Framestore picks out its face swapping work on the Kiyan Prince Project film as well as its epic spot for the launch of Paramount+. Along the way there was also the delivery of Avengers Campus Content for Disney Theme Parks. TV work included His Dark Materials season 3 and 1899 and it was once again the main vfx vendor for series five of The Crown. Over in features, it produced “consistent high quality feature VFX” on movies including Dr Stange in the Muliverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, Elvis, The Matrix Resurrections, Spiderman: No Way Home and there was an Oscar nomination for No Time to

Die. There were some big organisational changes too with the integration of Framestore’s colour team into Company 3 within the same offices at 28 Chancery Lane “and the wider Company 3 offering now available to our clients.” In terms of challenges ahead, Framestore, along with many others says, “there is a global shortage

of skilled talent” as well as “other recruitment challenges” including “rising salaries and a demand for permanent WFH.” Other concerns include a “potential recession affecting client spends.” But, it says “there are opportunities for growth in all areas of our business” with the weak pound driving work to the UK and “Realtime Engine workflows becoming mainstream.”
