Case Study: The Outrun

One of multiple projects managed for Brock Media.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Key Project Wins

  • From a total of over 6,000 stills, we curated a refined selection of just under 2,000 images, ensuring only the strongest material was presented for cast approvals - streamlining the process without compromising on quality.
  • All talent approvals were completed within 14 working days of us receiving the files, helping the production stay on schedule without needing to chase or delay.
  • Final images were organised into clearly labelled Approved and Killed folders, covering both RAW and JPG formats, and delivered with a complete set of reports to provide a clear audit trail and record of the approvals.

Long Term Collaboration

 

The Outrun is one of several projects we've worked on in collaboration with Brock Media, a London-based production company.

Nominations and Awards

 The Outrun has received a lot of recognition, including: 

1BAFTA Awards
Nominated for Outstanding British Film of the Year and Best Leading Actress.
2London Critics Circle Film Awards
Saoirse Ronan - Winner of Best British/Irish Performer of the Year.
3British Independent Film Awards
Nominated for 9 awards including Best British Independent Film, Best Lead Performance and Best Cinematography.

Their pain:

Time Limits

With limited time for approvals to be complete and over 6,000 images, the production team knew the actors would not want to go through them all for approvals.

Multiple Formats

Alongside the RAW files, they also had JPG images which needed to be organized in an easy-to-navigate way.

Our Solution:

Auditing

We carried out a full audit of all submitted stills, cross-checking files from each photographer to ensure everything was present, correctly formatted, and ready for approval - avoiding issues further down the line.

Curation

Before the images went out for talent approval, we provided a first pass of curation to remove duplicates, out-of-focus, unnecessary, unflattering or otherwise unusable shots. As a result, we reduced the initial image count from 6,000 to just under 2,000 stills.

Marking Selects

Once the cast completed their approvals, producers were able to mark their Selects to give a final working set to deliver to distributors.

Delivery

We then sorted everything into digestible folder structures and delivered them to the client in Killed, Approved and Approved Selects folders, as well as a copy of the full kill reports for reference.
