creative intent can be best realised from pre- production to final master.
That’s where Mission is different. This is what we understand and with that knowledge we can take on the mantle of technical responsibility. Mission has an all-star team who are all experts in their field; each with a unique skillset that we have helped nurture within our own training and certification programme. From on-set logistics to specialist technical services, we have it covered and with that workflow ownership we ensure that everyone on the production has the knowledge and support they need from pre-production all the way through post. The job isn’t finished until the project is released.
“It is not any one individual but the sum of the parts.”
It is not any one individual but the sum of the parts. Production is a team effort – from DITs, video playback specialists and lab operators to colour management supervision and file management specialists. Each has a unique role to play and where no one production will run like the last and will change and evolve as circumstances develop. A company, by definition, means a group of people who work together to the same goal. And it is those people that make our company special. Mission is above all a support company there to ensure all of the stakeholders on a production are fully supported.
Whenever I approach a new product or a new technical idea, I always ask myself how and where might it be useful and how can we do it better? I feel like we’re going through a period of accelerated change within digital cinematography. People talk about the digital revolution as if it were in the past tense, but to my mind it is just beginning. And it is going to involve ever more

complicated technical processes. There will be major shakeups in the VFX and post-production worlds with real-time VFX engines and ever more affordable access to cloud compute and remote working. HDR will develop with better pixels
“It is essential that somebody should define the workflow and what needs to be done”
delivering more vivid results and higher contrast ratios, not just more pixels. We are already looking at our next stage of development and the one or two after that. We will continue to grow our footprint and will be further expanding our already broad range of services. The only certainty, the only constant is change. I find this exciting and the next ten years will see greater changes than the last.
Workspace is a very flexible product with a good price point. You can add an expansion system to the Workspace for increased capacity and performance, and that expansion also adds another four Thunderbolt ports, so we can connect up to eight users when necessary.
“It’s great that Symply have bundled Axle AI with the system at no extra cost. It’s a great media asset management system that provides us with the functionality of creating a watch folder to just drop assets into and have them automatically transcoded on the Workspace. So we can free up resources by offloading some of our processing requirements onto the Workspace hardware.”
