Pretty much the holy grail of post production in the north.
On a typical dreary Saturday evening in Salford, with heavy-set grey skies lazily leaking rain, I had the pleasure of roaming around. While the general area is fully open to the public, I had an opportunity to visit Dock10 Studio.. a large post production house responsible for productions such as The Jeremy Kyle Show, Countdown and Match of the Day. The opportunity came about through a visit to a short film screening being held in a screening room within the studios. I am currently helping out with a short-film by the impressive producer/cinematographer Mariusz Sciclowicz, who is behind the film ‘Assassin’ which was the film in question being presented for the first time to an audience. Andrew Munro was the sound recordist & sound designer for the film, and is currently employed by Dock10 as a post production runner, hence the screening being held there.
After the screening I had a chance to scope out the studios and was taken aback by how impressive the facilities are.. this being the first time I have experienced walking through a post production house of such a high caliber.
After the mini-tour we headed to the Dockyard bar, a great addition to the place, with a chilled atmosphere full of enthusiastic people and good beer and whisky to boot.
