Second session for the HETV 1st AE to Editor funded course delivered by brown over the weekend.

This time in MediaCity in Manchester at ITV Orange Tower! Great bunch of delegates and they all seemed to be deep into the session every time I peeked through the window!

All delivered using professional equipment; Avid Nexis storage and Media Composer on all machines using shared projects across the group - as realistic as sitting in a post facility!

If you or your team are thinking of upskilling then please do reach out and get in touch - we also deliver bespoke, industry relevant post production training that can suit both your technical/craft needs and your budget

From one project to another! This time it was a Post Production session giving an overview of the Post and VFX pipelines for both “normal” VFX and Volume based from the perspective of a post production facility.

End to end walk through of all processes involved and how the Volume based material would integrate along with what we would see as pros and cons from the outlook of an editor

This Virtual Production Fellowship, funded by Media Cymru and delivered alongside Fivefold Studios and Final Pixel Academy, gives some amazing insight and practical, hands on experience in this sphere

Our small part was delivered by Mark Bankhead, one of the senior finishers and online editors here at Gorilla - bringing real world experience into our training!

And into February!! Kicked off with a ScreenSkills funded HETV 1st AE to Editor session in Glasgow!

Great to have the amazing Jack Brown back on a session with his knowledge and insight! Delegates were really happy and it was an amazing start for this new session for us - the combination of Gorillas industry level kit and expertise as well as Jacks experience has certainly made this session a very sought after course!

Manchester, Cardiff and London to come!!

HETV Post Production Technology session - next stop BELFAST!

ScreenSkills funded, Ferry from Liverpool to another amazing session! Got a little time to have a nose around and it’s a beautiful city!

Amazing delegates again and really enjoyed the delivery!

As a side note! Went all the way to Belfast only to find Cardiff Rugby - Rygbi Caerdydd there too!! I could have got a lift if I’d known… 😂😂😂

Well I’ve been very remiss not to be posting stuff over the last month!! So here’s a massive catchup!

I must say that putting a few things off until the new year last December seemed like a good plan… won’t be doing that again! It’s meant that we’ve been hammering the road and the training and now I’ve got 5 minutes in updating our socials!

First was early January where we travelled to Glasgow for the first time this year for the ScreenSkills funded HETV Post Production Technology session covering the tech and workflow for all aspects of Post Production - pretty much everything from leaving the camera (and a little before then!) all the way through to deliverables and archives.

Lovely city and lovely delegates! Was a really really good session and shout out to the Clayton Hotel there who made everything so easy for me!

Had the honour of presenting the Best Welsh film last night at the Cardiff Mini Film Festival!
This being our first time involved I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and variety of the films and it's a shame we could only give one prize per category!
It was an amazing evening and thoroughly enjoyed it! Met some lovely people and look forward to being involved next year!

Well what a start to 2026! Delivering our ScreenSkills fully funded session, HETV Post Production Technology, up in Glasgow for the weekend!

Came up on Friday and due to the lovely storm Goretti I had to be a little bit creative in how I got here!

Day one’s been a blast, met some lovely delegate’s and looking forward to getting stuck into day two tomorrow!

We’re at it again in Belfast the end of the month - let’s hope there’s no more storms to deal with then!!
