The unexpected will never catch us by surprise
The Question
The Answer
You need dependability.
We've got it.
We studied great brands throughout history, and a common lesson is that creativity and vision happens more naturally when people are in the same space together.
Coincidentally, having a centralized space where our entire team works on projects, from start to finish, also allows us to have tight control over the physical and electronic security of projects.
To directly address the concern for business and project continuity, we looked at other industries that have to operate with minimal to zero disruption. Two common practices emerged: deep cross training among teams and consistently shared knowledge that doesn’t live in silos. We have adopted similar processes to ensure that our projects run smoothly and are completed on time even if a key member of any project has an unforeseen absence.
Also, there's security
Everything about our post production storage system is built around speed, redundancy, and security. Our post production server runs an operating system and file system from IX Systems, built from the ground up for storage, which means it has minimal attack surface for malware, ransomware and viruses, and is more stable than larger computer operating systems like Windows or Mac OS.
We have built a robust storage solution that allows us to continue working at full speed without data loss even when up to four hard drives fail simultaneously. While the chances of four hard drives failing simultaneously is extremely low, it’s theoretically possible, so we even accounted for this event by building in hourly backups and by having data stored in multiple places.
We even planned for a complete loss of our entire server in the event of a fire, flood, or theft. Immediately after a shoot, after all of the raw footage is copied to our server, we make two additional copies on LTO. LTO is an incredibly stable tape format that is perfect for archiving data for long periods of time. One of these LTOs is stored securely off-premise , along with a daily backup of files.

The bottom line? We take deadlines seriously and have implemented robust systems, policies, and procedures to ensure that we deliver projects on time. We continue to monitor and evaluate these, and when necessary, make changes and updates to our systems and procedures. If you have any questions, shoot us a message. We’d love to chat!
