Video Assist

Here is how this works in practice. We supply video help operators who manage on-set tracking and playback for shoots in the Czech Republic. Our video help operators build and run the video village — multi-monitor setups with feeds for the director, cinematographer and clients — capture a reference recording from the camera, and give instant playback, take match-up, slow-motion review and clip marking. They handle wireless video transmission, signal routing, colour calibration and LUT running, and they configure secure remote streaming for producers and executives based off-site. Their backup recordings add a layer of protection for the production's footage. Czech video help operators work fluently in English, integrate smoothly with global camera and edit departments, and give complete gear packages or work with production-sourced gear.

Here is the short of it. Efficient on-set review keeps a production moving. The Czech Republic's video help crews are skilled with the demands of the global features and series that shoot at Barrandov Studios and on locations across Bohemia and Moravia. The country is one of Europe's busiest service-production destinations — projects such as 'Mission: Impossible', 'Casino Royale' and series including 'Carnival Row' and 'The Wheel of Time' have all relied on pro video village setups — and that sustained workload has built a skilled local pool.

Here is the breakdown. Czech video help operators know both studio-stage and challenging location environments, from historic castles to night exteriors. For a production assembling its on-set team, a Czech video help operator gives trusted tracking infrastructure within a skilled, English-speaking crew base at competitive cost.
