Digital Octopus has been formed as a new company comprised of a virtual team of award-winning TV and feature film editors. Digital Octopus will specialize in providing full-service editorial services for feature films, TV shows, commercials, music videos and web content. The company’s slogan is: “Digital Octopus: Combining Excellence with Experience.” The announcement was made today by three-time Emmy Award nominated editor Peter Dunn, founder/president, Digital Octopus.
Digital Octopus has been designed as a comprehensive post production solution representing a vast network of professionals with hundreds of awards and nominations and a collective experience of over 50 years. Digital Octopus unites knowledge and skill to bring its clients a powerhouse post production team. From editorial work on Academy Award winning films to Emmy Award winning television series, the company’s talent and collective years of experience is its forte. Every genre and style of project, including Reality, News, Drama, Comedy, Documentary, Promotions and Webisodes, have been handled by company editors.
Among Digital Octopus’s services are Editorial, Standards Conversions, Color Correction, Mastering SD & HD, Quality Control, Sound Sweetening, Premium Visual Effects Packages, Custom Graphics Elements, and Online Review.
Said Dunn, “In today’s economy, to build a brand new post production facility and hire a comparable staff to the one we have assembled would cost an absolute fortune, so, instead, we’ve found a way to deliver the best possible editorial services and make them extremely cost-effective to our clients. Our services scale to the individual needs of each project, with our clients only paying for what they use. For overflow work, we can pick up the slack with a small team quickly and efficiently. And, for large-scale operations, we can also meet any challenge, since we have relationships in place with numerous top post production facilities located both in Santa Monica and in Hollywood. Digital Octopus is designed to tailor our resources to any type of client, so they will never have to pay for overhead or assets they don’t directly use. This will allow us to provide extraordinary talent at unbelievable values.”
Since its inception, Digital Octopus has already been involved with providing editorial for a number of TV projects, including TLC’s “Saw for Hire,” CMT’s “Wedding Day Disasters,” and the international TV show “Nowhere to Run,” as well as providing post work on numerous corporate videos and sizzle reels.
