Posted: 11/07/2012

Forbidden Technologies, the AIM quoted owner and developer of the FORscene cloud video platform, is pleased to announce that Halo, the award-winning, London based post-production facility, has chosen FORscene as its logging and rough cut editing platform.

Halo has been using FORscene for a number of productions, including Steps Reunion and Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model. Since Halo started to use FORscene, they have ingested over 2,000 hours of media.

Halo Post Production is one of London’s leading post facilities offering award-winning picture and audio post-production to the film, television and advertising communities. Productions teams can get expert support and advice from knowledgeable, skilled and creative operators, post-producers and support staff.

Louis Hyde, Head of Technology of Halo, says:

“In the few months since we have been using FORscene, our clients have found it to be a useful tool in the offline editing process. With the addition of our ISIS file server we can put even more media through the FORscene system”.

Stephen Streater, CEO of Forbidden Technologies, says:

"I am happy to be working with Halo Post on multiple productions, further growing the FORscene user base. The technology integration for this client highlights the flexibility of the FORscene platform and Forbidden's capacity to adapt to a variety of technologies".
