ADVERTI SEMENT FEATURE | ESCAPE TECHNOLOGY
AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, WHILE production shooting winds down the post-production world often does the complete opposite. Holiday content needs to be finished whether it is films, TV or commercials and this can often mean some much-needed additional technical resource just to push the project over the finish line. Escape Technology offers rental workstations, monitors and render for small or large productions. “You have all the run-ups to Christmas releases especially on the advertising side, but also movies,” explains Nick Mathews, business development director at Escape Technology. “The nature of the industry means companies work down to the wire. Often we’ll get requests from studios with freelancers starting ASAP, last-minute requirements, or changes in the deliverable. Rental machines alleviate those challenges. “Projects often don’t get green-lit until the last minute so that’s when we get calls to bolster a production’s inventory of equipment. We hold a large stock of workstations designed specifically for the needs of VFX artists. Compositing of 3D content or finishing with grading or a Flame suite, we can provide the best machines for any task and configure them to exacting standards with our team of engineers. We build them here [at Escape], then install them and support them in the highly pressurised environment that they go into.”
GETTING OVER THE LINE In the world of spin-up, spin-down productions, capital expenditure can be a nightmare. Escape Technology lets you rent hardware, enabling you to work with some incredible equipment at a fraction of the cost
