Too Hot to Handle - Fixed Rig

Friday saw Netflix release all 8 episodes of it’s most exotic and exciting fixed rig show.  This Netflix Original created with Talkback, a Fremantle production company, will contain many firsts in this genre.  The Collectv were responsible for the recording, media management, on site edit and secure media backup; which resulted in one of the highest quality records of any fixed rig seen before.  An unusual hybrid workflow was devised to allow productions needs to be met, while getting the most out of all the technology but keeping the workflow efficient.

“It was made clear from the start, that it was really important for the audience to see this exotic location in all it’s glory. They didn’t want anything to be lost in the technical process between lens and screen. We put in a lot of work to ensure we met their technical and creative specification. From The Collectv’s point of view, we are only there to facilitate and support the production teams deliver their creative vision. Working together with the production and broadcasters teams so closely from the start, meant we got the best out of our equipment and built our workflow to fit their specific needs. Everyone who has seen the show has commented on how good the final result looks and we couldn’t wait to see it.  We’re really proud to have been involved.” Chris Sarson, Managing Director The Collectv.
