Workflow Automation Consulting

The tools we built to run this place, built for yours

Every post house has the same handful of tasks that eat the week: checking the thing that was already checked, chasing the render that died at 2am, rebuilding the package that came back rejected, retyping metadata that already existed three systems ago. We stopped absorbing that and started automating it — not as a side project, but as the pipeline this facility runs on every day. None of it came from a whiteboard. All of it came from a delivery that went wrong once and now cannot go wrong the same way again.

What’s included

  • DaVinci Resolve automation and scripted pipelines
  • Frame.io, Dropbox, and Google Drive integration
  • Automated QC and ingest validation
  • DCP validation, authoring, and caption conversion pipelines
  • Render orchestration and fleet management
  • Durable workflows that survive failure mid-job
  • Media asset management and storage architecture
  • AI tooling with real privacy boundaries around client material

Ways to work together

Every engagement is scoped to the problem in front of it. These are the three shapes the work usually takes.

01

Workflow Audit

We follow a job all the way through your shop and write down where the time actually goes. You get a straight assessment of what is worth automating, what is not, and what is quietly costing you a day a week — yours to keep whether or not we build any of it.

02

Project Build

One piece of pipeline, designed, built, and handed over working: ingest and QC, delivery automation, a Resolve integration, storage and archive architecture. Built against a defined outcome, documented so your team owns it after we leave.

03

Ongoing Support

Engineering capacity without hiring for it. We maintain what we built, extend it as your work changes, and pick up the phone during a delivery week when something breaks at the worst possible moment.

Built here, running in production

We are not describing capability in the abstract. These are systems we built, ship, and depend on for our own deliveries.

Talk to us about your project.

Send the cut, the delivery dates, and what you are up against. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right room for it.
