LONDON - Harbor (https://harborpicturecompany.com) has opened a new, dedicated dailies facility at Shepperton Studios. The purpose-built facility includes an HDR grading & screening room that's been set up to support leading technical standards.
The Harbor-at-Shepperton location features high-speed production data uploads to studio and cloud storage, as well as Anchor – Harbor’s proprietary set-to-screen workflow platform – ensuring seamless integration with both local and remote workflows. This service is available to all clients, be it an independent filmmaker, studio or major streaming platform.
The Shepperton facility is strategically positioned to support productions from a variety of clients. Shepperton Studios is a key site for Netflix, which has created a major production base there, and Amazon Studios, which recently signed a sizable deal to expand their operations at the historic studio complex.
The facility offers a direct connection to both Harbor’s Turnmills studio in Central London – serving as the creative backbone – and its proprietary high-speed network, enabling secure collaboration across the company’s global infrastructure. This includes brick-and-mortar studios in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Chicago, as well as 90 satellite facilities with local billing capabilities.
“Harbor’s mission is to provide a premium experience through a centralized hub for innovative front-end production support and full post production services, ensuring a seamless set-to-screen workflow that meets the needs of today’s filmmakers,” states Thom Berryman, UK managing director at Harbor. “With this new Shepperton facility, we’re bringing cutting-edge solutions to one of the most storied studios in the industry, reinforcing our commitment to delivering exceptional services that meet the evolving demands of modern production.”
The Harbor-at-Shepperton dailies facility is also serving as a UK hub for Harbor Virtual Lab maintenance and distribution, positioning Harbor as a strategic partner for productions requiring versatile, global post production solutions. Harbor's extensive network will support operations at the new facility, providing access to its international talent pool and ensuring filmmakers benefit from the expertise of a team dedicated to high-quality dailies, color grading, color science and seamless project integration from set to screen.
