When the pandemic hit, Covert already had a full workflow in place. “Covert was a work-from-home company from day one.”Īccording to Simon, “It was an active choice because we felt that this was the future of working, and we could thereby lower overhead and allow the studio to invest more heavily in talent acquisition.”
Conceived to help creatives find a better work-life balance, Covert was a work-from-home company from day one.
Lots of VFX houses have pivoted to a remote, cloud-based workflow over the past few years out of necessity, and have continued to produce world-class work.īut what’s unique about Covert is that they have cleverly (and very intentionally) devised ways to leverage the power of the tools within the Adobe Creative Cloud to design a workflow that is incredibly flexible and very efficient.Ĭo-founders Simon Dewey and Toby Wheeler began the company five years ago, focusing on motion graphics and VFX for short-form projects for an array of clients including Barclays, Bacardi, Nissan, and Red Bull. In this installment of Made in Frame, Covert’s founders tell us how they cost-effectively delivered 400 high-quality VFX shots for a six-part series-using Frame.io and Adobe Creative Cloud-with a crew of creatives who were spread across several continents. The combination of music and dialogue, set in London and featuring UK grime, drill, and rap artists, was produced by Nothing Lost (creative duo Chas Appeti and Junior Okoli) and premieres September 30 in more than 240 countries and territories.
The combined efficiencies of not paying for expensive real estate and being able to work with anyone, irrespective of their physical location, are two compelling factors that we’ve heard numerous industry insiders cite over the past several years.īut there are some visionaries who embraced remote work even pre-pandemic, like UK-based Covert, who just completed the visual effects for the new Amazon Prime Original series Jungle. If we learned anything from the pandemic, it’s that remote work is here to stay.
