Workflows


The convergence of traditional post production workflows and high definition technologies require new innovations and creative solutions to support the myriad of formats and deliverables that the industry continues to demand.


Our Quantel Pablo Digital Intermediate grading suite is at the centre of our facility, with its Christie 2K DLP projector and large 4.5 metre screen and full 4K realtime playback capability it continues to be the work horse for our clients projects.


The Pablo features faster than realtime rendering, Unlimited cascade grading, freehand animated graphic shapes, retouching and compositing all combined in a seamless way with our award winning editors.

Networked Storage-- Genetic Engineering


Quantel’s Genetic Engineering having also been commissioned at Pablo Post means we can offer even more value to our clients productions. Having the ability to share their post requirements across multiple suites enables us to quote in a very competitive way.


All our clients media is available instantly to them in every connected suite and that includes our mac/FCP and Fusion compositing areas without having to transfer large files.


Networked, secured non compressed storage now enables us to keep our clients projects online for far longer, so making even more savings when it comes to their projects requirements.


Every frame of a clients project is available to them securely via Sohonet at whatever bandwidth their local connection can take.


Sohonet is a secure point to point / VPN firewalled secure network service,  based here at pinewood.

3D Stereoscopic Editing


3D stereoscopic editing and grading has also been supported this year.  It’s a refreshing area of post to be involved in and with the continuing support from established industry professionals it’s proving to be an interesting journey.


We have installed our digital cinema with a Christie 2K DLP projector and Xpands active 3D stereo system, in-order to fuse together the two streams of synchronous high resolution media outputted from our Pablo in realtime.


Stereo strengh and convergence can be adjusted in real time.


If you haven’t already experienced High Definition 3D projection and post, please book into one of our 3D seminars here at pinewood.

2K/4K/RED / Digital camera workflows


For our digital film clients we continue to offer the S-Two DFR data capture workflows recording digital negative from our Viper FilmStream cameras and now the amazing Sony F35 cameras.


True non compressed RGB 4:4:4 10-bit log capture is achieved along with all the benefits of metadata and seamless integration into FCP/AVID editorial and then onto Pablo DI grading for finishing.


If you are interested in shooting and editing with the RED camera we have the perfect data workflows for you.


Our in-house RED project team have successfully post produced many RED productions for both broadcast TV and cinema.


The workflow is seamless and very fast.


Thanks to Resolution Co-existence our customers can freely mix material shot in other formats with RED material without the need for additional rendering or conversions, saving time and disk space and maximising quality.


Our Pablo has ultra-high quality sizing technology that can be used during the RED file import, giving superb results.


4K originated .r3d RED projects can as easily be finished at 4K, 2K, HD, SD, or even in Stereo3D.


RED Decode sizes (Full=4096x2048, Half = 2048x1024, Quarter = 1024x512 @ 2:1)


We can supply your editorial team with corrected dailies (HD apple pro-rez)  and offer real-time post production of the .r3d files. 


Our suite can also be used to compile 4K dailies with sync sound for end of play/next day 2K projection onsite here at Pinewood.


We work alongside our camera partners providing a cost effective real end-to-end data workflow.
