Picture Shop, part of Streamland Media, announced it will open a new dailies facility at Pinewood Studios, just west of London, in early 2022. The new lab will offer a full range of dailies services, including four grading rooms, opportunities to collaborate with creatives from Pinewood’s world-class theatres, and secure, high-speed connections to a cloud-based content management and collaboration system.
“Picture Shop Pinewood will bring a global network of talent and technology to the historic Pinewood Studios lot,” says John Fleming, UK managing director for Streamland Media’s Picture Shop. “Based on the growing need for front-end production support, we are building an innovative dailies facility to serve our clients at the highest possible level in an ideal location.”
