The brief

SPS were engaged by StoryVault Films to provide full post-production on Series 6 (x9 45-min episodes) of ‘Landscape Artist Of The Year’. The brief was to recreate another high-value season following Stephen Mangan, Joan Bakewell, Tai Shan Shierenberg, Kathleen Soriano & Kate Bryan on their search for the nation’s best landscape painter.

The solution

We selected a team that were able to utilise HP Remote Graphic Software to connect to the edit suites at Sky’s campus, allowing them to work from home. Similar to ‘Portrait Artist Of The Year’ S7, dedicated tech support groups helped our team follow specific workflows, relying on a combination of different communication channels, 9 simultaneous remote offlines and multi-tasking episodes at once, to complete the project in a short turnaround time between RX and TX.

Wrapped up in Autumn/Winter of 2020, the longform project was edited in Avid Media Composer & Symphony, given a Baselight grade and a Pro Tools audio mix, and delivered for transmission on Sky Arts.

The SPS team did a sterling job navigating the extra challenges brought about by the pandemic, and they gave us tremendous support in implementing a new COVID-friendly workflow. SPS’ patience and diligence were vital in overcoming the frustrations of remote working and delivering great shows.
