P.P.S.
I know what you’re thinking; “How do you
have over 15 years’ experience – you’re the
managing director and you don’t look a
day over 25?”
I know, I know – you’re very flattering.
Best regards,
David Garcia Gonzalez

Allow us to blow
our own trumpet!
I always remember my mum telling
me to “Stop Showing Off” when I was a
kid – well, that’s not factually true – she
actually said “Deja de alardear” – but
you get the idea.
But in this instance, I’m going to ignore
my mum’s request and boast some of
our successes.
“Look away now, Mother.”
Here are a selection of brands we’ve
had the privilege to work with – good
luck finding another boutique Post
House that can compare!

16

Offline Editing
The offline editing stage is a crucial step
in the post-production process.
It is where all the many hours of filming
on set are sieved through, until you have
a comprehensible edit, matching your
storyboard.
Our roster of highly talented offline
editors has the ability to tell your story
and convey your message perfectly.
Whether it’s food commercial full of
close-ups and speed ramps or a
fast-pasted video with lots of quick cuts,
we have the right editor for you.
Using top of the range Apple computers
with the latest editing tools, our offline
editors are able to construct, tweak and
even build dramatic time-warps to
multiple shots within the edit, all whilst
working in the native resolution of the
footage and without experiencing any
delays or play back issues.
18

VFX
The VFX process helps bring your
commercial to the next level. From
beauty retouching within a fashion or
cosmetics commercial, to embedding a
CGI dragon into a live action shot. When
it comes to visual effects, truly anything
is possible! Whatever the requirements
of your project, we’ll have the right VFX
artist for you.
No job is ever too big or too small for our
team. We work with you to ensure the
best possible result for your project. Our
client satisfaction is key to us and it’s
our job to bring your vision to life.
Our equipment is continuously being
upgraded so that it’s always at the
forefront of technology, allowing our
work to be achieved at the highest
quality and in the quickest time
possible. Using the very latest Autodesk
Flame Premium software, we’re capable
of delivering material at 8K and above.

Colour Grading
The colour grade is a key aspect to all
commercials that should not be
overlooked. It will influence the tone,
emotional impact and storytelling of
your campaign and by working with our
experienced colourists you will be part of
the team to help achieve your vision.
Our team are versatile and able to
interpret, develop and ultimately create
the optimum look and feel for your
piece, all with your input and ideas in
mind. The overall impact of a grade can
be mind-blowing, taking your edit from
a cloudy day to a beautiful sunset,
literally!
No matter the desired style you are
aiming to achieve, you will have total
control. We always endeavour to
develop and explore your ideas,
bouncing them around in the suite,
offering advice or even applying an
initial look that can then be developed
together to finesse your piece.
22

Colour Grading
Flexibility and an open mind are crucial
when starting this process and we
always bear in mind the individuality of
each campaign, to ensure that they
stand out from the crowd.
It goes without saying that grading your
commercial will have a positive impact
on the campaign. It allows you to add
that final level of creativity and
individuality, bringing out the beauty of
each shot and creating a memorable
image - something that is key for all
successful campaigns.
By manipulating the image and
enhancing your product you’ll be
separating yourself from the
competition.
Therefore, the grade is one of the final
steps to your commercial. It adds
quality, detail and brings a campaign
together across the board, naturally
allowing you to strengthen your brand.
24

to go beyond real world constraints. We
create imagery that inspires, across all our
sectors.

envelope of what is considered possible
within the animation arena.

motivated team of professionals. We
