Vault by Serious, founded by leading Scottish post-house Serious Facilities, is set to offer a “high-end and smart-thinking DIT and dailies service” across all sectors: cinema, HETV, commercials, documentary and factual.
The service, launched yesterday (6 January), aims to deliver smarter, safer and more integrated digital workflows for productions of every size and budget.
Serious Facilities said: “Built on decades of experience from Scotland’s first digital cinema shoot to the latest superhero blockbusters, Vault brings a streamlined, stress-free approach from camera to post.
“The company’s ethos is simple: listen first, then design a workflow to suit a production’s individual needs.”
Simon Cull, CEO of Serious Facilities, added: “This was something that was very much lacking in Scotland’s existing film and TV infrastructure. I’m delighted that we can now offer this, to ensure Scotland competes at the very highest levels of the industry.”
“Scotland has always punched well above its weight regarding crews and technical excellence. Now that there is a huge increase in productions using Scotland as a location, as well as an increase in home-grown productions, the introduction of Vault will be a huge benefit to both local and visiting productions,” commented Grant McPhee, Vault by Serious.
Vault’s specialists have worked with every major digital camera format since 2007, with credits spanning Hollywood features, HETV and award-winning factual productions.
With a dual understanding of both set and post production, Vault is said to deliver fast turnarounds, smooth communication and robust, reliable workflows.
The modular ethos allows Vault to “deliver on all aspects of service or to step in to facilitate only one”.
Vault was created in response to Scotland’s rapidly expanding screen sector, providing a smart-thinking service for visiting and local productions of all sizes, with a pre-existing infrastructure that is robust and safe to facilitate a shoot of any size today, as well as always being ahead of any technical advancement.
Vault by Serious offers multiple on-set livegrade and data-management rigs, in-house Baselight and Resolve grading suites and cutting-edge edit-suites and machine rooms.
