THE DROP EP. 304: VFX FOR GENIUSES
If we didn’t spend every day with this crew and watch them blow $#!+ up, we might not believe how much of what you see on screen is VFX either, but here we are with an HPA Award nominated visual effects team! we’ll share shots that may shock, graphics that may astonish & bushels of humility about it all.
The holiday season has officially kicked off at DigitalFilm Tree!
We are forever thankful for our team here at DFT and the exceptional people and projects we serve. May this holiday break bring you rest, joy and delicious food!
The Drop will be back next week and it's a good one! VFX for Geniuses!

THE DROP EP. 303: COLOR SCIENCE FOR GENIUSES!
Colorists have long been as critical to the finishing process as cinematographers are to production, but shocking advancements in technology have begun surfacing the power of a technical brain that hyper charges their creative one. Our color team dissects the tools and the talents of their craft!
DFT’s Thanksgiving Gobble Gobble, 2021!
THE DROP EP 302: CURIOSITY FOR GENIUSES!
Curiosity remains our highest tenet when hiring, encouraging and supporting our team. it isn’t the easiest concept to unpack or teach, rather it’s become a habit and goal - to ask questions, be willing to fail or be uncomfortable, but most importantly to learn and teach as we do.
We speak with software engineer/friend of DFT Duck Grossberg about his incredible history in the entertainment industry, how he's leveraged his curiosity to find a myriad of solutions to problems on the set of some of Hollywood's biggest productions, and the practical ways in which one can enter the entertainment business.
S3 of The Drop @ DFT is LIVE!
The first episode of our "Geniuses" series dropped today: "Pandemics for Geniuses," in which our HR Manager & our Director of Operations dissect what keeping a post-house open and thriving during a pandemic looked like.

THE DROP EP. 207: LASSO SCORE!
Composer Tom Howe might be better known for his work on The Great British Baking Show, but it’s his wildly collaborative and heartfelt work on Ted Lasso that continues to draw audiences further into each character and moment, week-after-week.
🔉Ep 206, Lasso Sound, is live!📢
We’re not a Sound house, but Lasso re-recording mixers do a lot of heavy lifting, and you should hear it! ⚽️
☀️It’s our first Drop filmed out on the pitch, so forgive us (again, not a Sound house) for the outdoor noise, but Ladies & Gents - Sean Byrne & Ryan Kennedy!
***Even though this is a SOUND episode, we highly recommend watching this one so you can fully appreciate the beats, the choices being described and overall master work of collaboration that goes into the heart of #TedLasso.
Team Lasso, you continue to amaze 💙

DigitalFilm Tree (DFT) and NCIS: Los Angeles have partnered together across all 11 of their seasons. When Covid-19 forced both teams into the home, DFT was able to quickly pivot for entirely remote workflows that allowed for editorial and finishing to completed the season without impeding delivery timelines. This 30min discussion with the editorial and finishing teams offers insights across end user experience, as well as the architecture of the workflow from the technologists and artists behind these innovations.
Happy Birthday Boss!
To celebrate a day of Gratitude, CEO Ramy Katrib gives a lovely Thanks Giving Day Toast to the DFT family.
