Fractional Post Production and Workflow Services in Toronto
Four ways Case Study Creative helps production teams work faster, spend smarter, and ship on time.
Fractional Post Production Supervision
The problem: Your team is growing and your projects are getting more complex, but you can't justify a full-time Post Production Supervisor. So the editor is also managing media, the producer is troubleshooting export settings, and nobody is tracking delivery specs until the night before the deadline.
What CSC does: I embed with your team on a part-time basis — typically two to three days per week, on-site or remote — and take ownership of everything downstream of picture lock. Media management, conform and online workflows, color and audio handoffs, QC, and final delivery.
Who it's for: Production companies, agencies, and broadcasters running multiple projects with a small-to-mid-size post team. Especially useful during busy seasons when the volume outpaces your current capacity.
- • Post production scheduling and milestone tracking
- • Media management and project organization
- • Conform, online, and delivery workflow oversight
- • Color and audio department coordination
- • Delivery spec compliance and QC
- • Workflow documentation for your team
Post Production Facility Setup in Toronto
The problem: You're building out an edit suite — or an entire facility — and you're not sure where to start. What workstations should you buy? How much shared storage do you actually need? Should you run 10GbE or Thunderbolt?
What CSC does: I design and spec post production facilities based on how your team actually works. That means understanding your formats (ProRes, BRAW, R3D, DNxHR), your typical project sizes, your simultaneous editor count, and your budget.
Who it's for: Production companies, broadcasters, and corporate media departments building new facilities or upgrading existing ones.
- • Workstation specification and procurement (Mac Studio, Mac Pro, custom PC)
- • Shared storage design (NAS, SAN, DAS — Synology, QNAP, LumaForge, SNS)
- • Network architecture (10GbE, Thunderbolt, switching)
- • Monitoring setup (color-accurate displays, calibration)
- • Software licensing and configuration (Premiere, Resolve, Avid, Frame.io)
- • Facility documentation and user guides
NAS, SAN, and Cloud Storage Integration for Media Teams
The problem: Your media is everywhere. Some of it is on a NAS in the office. Some is on a portable drive that went home with an editor. Some is in Dropbox, but nobody remembers which folder. Your team wastes hours every week looking for footage.
What CSC does: I design storage and media asset management systems that connect your local infrastructure to cloud storage in a way that actually works for editorial. Your editors see one file system whether they're on-site or remote.
Who it's for: Any team juggling local storage with remote editors or multiple office locations. Especially valuable for hybrid teams that need to share large media files.
- • Storage architecture design (NAS, SAN, DAS)
- • Cloud integration setup (LucidLink, Dropbox, Google Drive, AWS S3)
- • MAM/DAM system selection and configuration
- • Folder structure and naming convention design
- • User access controls and permission policies
- • Migration planning from existing storage setups
Remote Edit Review Sessions — Real-Time, Frame-Accurate
The problem: You're sending Vimeo links with password protection and getting feedback like "around the 2-minute mark, can you change that thing?" Clients and producers can't scrub frame-by-frame. Notes come back vague.
What CSC does: I set up real-time remote review workflows so directors, producers, and clients can watch your timeline at full quality, drop frame-accurate markers, and give notes in context.
Who it's for: Any post team working with remote clients, directors, or producers who need to give detailed feedback without being in the room.
- • Review platform selection and setup (Frame.io, Evercast, ClearView Flex)
- • Streaming configuration for real-time playback
- • Annotation and marker workflow design
- • Integration with your existing NLE (Premiere, Resolve, Avid)
- • Client onboarding documentation so reviewers know how to use the tools
