All of our physical suites can also be used remotely with our ENVY Remote platform at any time, allowing full flexibility to work on site or remotely whenever you need to.

We have six Baselight TWO colour grading suites all with the latest Dolby and Sony monitoring allowing our grading team to work at resolutions from HD up to 4K HDR. All suites are connected to a high-speed SAN and supported by a Baselight Assist, allowing imports/exports to happen in the background without interrupting the session.

Our online team operate across ten Avid Symphony suites and two Autodesk Flame systems all connected via high performance shared storage, working at resolutions from HD up to 4K HDR and beyond if required. They offer the latest plugins from both Boris and Sapphire, as well as the highest quality broadcast monitoring available.

Our Broadcast division has nine sound studios, all with VO booths alongside two additional Audio Prep rooms. All our studios are 5.1 capable with three studios being Dolby Atmos 7.1.4. All suites run the latest ProTools 20.12 software with the latest plugins. As well as mix, we also offer ADR, Foley and remote voice over.

Originally operating within the commercial realm, circa 2015 saw the studio begin collaborations with filmmakers and content creators across feature films and episodic productions. Absolute have crafted effects across feature films featuring Hollywood stars such as Mads Mikkelsen (Return Of The Goat), Jude Law (The Nest) and Emma Stone (Maniac). Meanwhile, their episodic portfolio boasts solutions for BBC (Great Expectations), Disney+ (Super/Natural) and Prime Video UK (The Rig), whilst How To Be A Person for Channel 4 won a BAFTA.
