Production and post-production at the highest level with Octopus and VM Broadcast

In their brand new facilities in Boadilla del Monte (Madrid), Octopus Media and VM Broadcast have organized an open day in which they have demonstrated that it is possible to combine experience, professionalism and the latest technologies in SD, HD, 2K and 4K capture and post-production, even in stereoscopic.

Octopus Media y VM Broadcast have joined forces to offer a comprehensive, full-service production and post-production service at the highest level.

In their brand new facilities in Boadilla del Monte (Madrid), both companies have organized an open day in which they have demonstrated that it is possible to combine experience, professionalism and the latest technologies in SD, HD, 2K and 4K capture and post-production, even in stereoscopic.

Octopus Media, creada recientemente por Javier y David Ojeda, Javier Martín, Manuel Peláez, Bernardo Granadero y Santiago Martín, ha optado por aliarse con VM Broadcast para ir mucho más allá de la postproducción, abarcando tanto el alquiler de platós como de equipos técnicos trabajando mano a mano con el cliente atendiendo sus necesidades con el valor añadido de una atención personalizada y altamente especializada.

Octopus' elegant facilities offer a total of six post-production rooms (with Avid MediaComposer, Quantel Pablo and Final Cut), a room for 5.1 audio work and several rooms for sound and dubbing. All rooms are linked in a powerful Cisco Gigabit Ethernet network along with shared storage that allows you to work with any material in any room, even simultaneously.

Pablo and F65

Those who have attended the open day organized by Octopus and VM Broadcast have been surprised by the potential offered by two of the crown jewels that both companies make available to their clients.

En una demostración, sin precedentes en nuestro país, hemos podido comprobar cómo en Octopus es posible, por ejemplo, grabar material en 4K con la nueva Sony F-65 y apenas diez minutos más tarde disponer de la media directamente en el sistema de corrección de color y acabado Pablo Neo de Quantel para su etalonaje… en 4K.

Es de destacar que Octopus es la única postproductora en España que cuenta por el momento con el avanzado sistema Pablo Neo. La perfecta integración entre el panel de control Neo y las herramientas de corrección de color Pablo permiten llevar a cabo retoques de color complejos y precisos de manera rápida e intuitiva.

The Pablo color corrector, together with the Neo panel, makes the work of the operator and director of photography easier with a wide range of on-board finishing tools, even in stereoscopic work.

For its part, the new F-65, of which VM Broadcast already has two units, is a camera equipped with an 8K 20 megapixel sensor capable of generating a 4k digital cinema signal and authentic HD2K.

Octopus, with the complement of VM Broadcast and other alliances that will close shortly, is playing all the tricks to gain a foothold in the national and international market based on a concept of a high-level post-production boutique with full services for TV, film and corporate productions with the quality, reliability, safety and speed offered by facilities pampered in detail and equipped with the latest technology.
