Technicolor Creative Services UK has locations in Denham, West Drayton and Hammersmith and its expansion is proceeding at a rapid pace.
In October 2002, a new customised DVD centre opened in Denham, offering an expanded range of DVD production services to European and international clients, including compression, author-
ing, graphics, video-on-demand, project management and quality control.
The centre has authored or re-pur- posed hundreds of titles and its equip- ment list includes Spruce Technologies and Daikin Scenarist authoring sta- tions, Digital Vision Bitpack encoding stations, Dolby AC-3 encoding units and Alias/Wavefront Maya Complete 2D and 3D graphics software.
Panasonic emulators are located in six fully loaded QC bays, augmented by three audio/video compression
bays. The centre also offers more than 5TB of available networked storage.
Barely a month later a High Definition Thomson Spirit was installed at West Drayton offering full HD rushes and mastering telecine services.
“Technicolor Creative Services UK is now positioned to offer a complete value chain to its customers with numerous credits already under its belt providing a total end-to-end solu- tion for the customer,” says Beck.
“In a world of change our first priori- ty has always been to listen to our cus- tomers needs and quickly respond and adapt our services to meet them. We will continue to do this.” ■ RUSSELL FORGHAM
