The Shed: Specialist Location Services, Fixed Rig Recording and Media Management Built Around You
The Shed is home to our specialist location team who design, build and manage bespoke technical systems and operations that guarantee a smooth, fast, pain free transition from pre production all the way through to final post and delivery.
Our expertise lies in developing workflows and building systems tailored to our clients' individual needs. There is no project too big or too small, and no location too challenging, for The Shed team. From fixed rig on location shoots, studios and live broadcasts to post production, we have got you covered.
Not only do we provide our bespoke systems and equipment, but we also supply our world class Shed crew, ensuring you, your media and your project are looked after by the best. And whilst our main goal is to streamline your process from production to post with us at The Farm, The Shed's services and equipment can also be outsourced, ensuring a smooth transition to wherever you want to take your post.
Comprehensive location services designed to get your media from capture to edit, seamlessly.
The Shed provides comprehensive location capture and media management services tailored to our clients' individual needs. From the first frame recorded to the final file delivered, we handle every step of the process with precision and care.
Our team works closely with productions from day one, ensuring nothing is left to chance and your media is always in safe hands.
Designing specialist workflows for projects of any scale and location, our Shed systems come with robust redundancy and media integrity built in.
Every system is bespoke, built to suit your specific requirements and configured to minimise risk. Whether you're recording 8 streams or 128, we engineer solutions that keep your production running smoothly.
The Shed services include capture, backup, archive, logging and prep for the edit, with the location and facility teams working hand in hand to ensure a seamless transition from capture right through to final post.
Our goal is simple: get your media from set to edit suite as quickly and efficiently as possible, ready to cut.
What We Do
The Shed provides comprehensive end to end location capture and media management services. We design specialist workflows for projects of any scale and location, with robust redundancy and media integrity built into every system we deploy.
Bespoke systems built to suit your needs and tailored to each specific workflow. Our systems capture streams from fixed cameras, recording both hi res and proxy Avid media files for a swift, cost efficient route to the edit. Fully redundant systems minimise the risk of media loss.
Alongside fixed rig record and management, we provide backup of media cards to multiple storage locations, backup verification and ingest. This streamlines the process of getting media from production directly to post, with full chain of custody maintained throughout.
All media is written to a secure format (LTO tape) which can be taken off location and stored elsewhere, giving clients peace of mind that their media is always protected and safe. We manage archive workflows to ensure nothing is ever lost.
We offer a variety of logging solutions to suit any size of production. From live gallery logging, live in the field logging and remote logging to auto transcriptions, we tailor our approach to match your editorial requirements.
We provide a full range of location capture and media management equipment available for hire. From record systems and storage solutions to backup drives and monitors, our kit is maintained to the highest standards and ready to deploy wherever your production takes you.
Our world class Shed crew are available for hire across all production types. Whether you need DITs, engineers, supervisors or full location teams, we supply experienced professionals who understand the demands of fast paced, high pressure production environments.
We prepare your media for the edit suite, handling syncing, grouping and organising rushes so your editorial team can hit the ground running. Our prep work ensures a smooth handover and reduces time spent on technical setup in the cutting room.
