THE EVOLUTION OF POST PRODUCTION
POST
– to make our clients’ time with us as valuable from a creative point of view as possible.” The Farm is investing in technology to make its
non-linear offline estate both highly scalable and highly resilient. “As we move towards virtualised edit instances, we can leverage our footprint in the UK to provide greater availability and durability, all transparent to the end user,” says Swan. “The scale and architecture of our network infrastructure means that we’re now able to allow clients to edit with content from a studio show, for example, while the record is still ongoing. This, coupled with a drive to migrate many of our backend internal and client- facing apps to the cloud means that we can scale with demand to meet the needs of productions of any size.” Janek Lender, Head of Visualisation at NVIZ, has
over 15 years of experience of working in Previs, Virtual Production and Visual Effects, and feels post production is still a relevant stage of the workflow. “But more and more, some of the post production tools and skill sets are being deployed earlier in the production process in order to aid the editorial process,” he says. “Using realtime workflows for Previs and also through to Postvis, is one way of increasing
the efficiency and tying together the developmental stages of the filmmaking process.”
MOVING TO THE CLOUD As we’ve already seen, The Farm is exploring more virtual versions of post. “Our approach to the cloud is to migrate parts of the pipeline that truly benefit from being re-factored in the cloud, where we can make use of built-in services to minimise overheads,” says Swan. “It’s not about migrating data and compute- hungry workloads to the cloud as much as identifying areas of the pipeline that are less dependent on on-prem resources and re-architecting them for the cloud.”
