“In a press release sent out last year Glasshouse announced that we were going
mobile!!!!For years, the industry has been calling for changes to the post production sector,
to no avail. Glasshouse grew tired of the status quo and decided to take the ball into our
own hands, stay ahead of the game and take the radical steps that saw us move out of our
redundant large offices and into a ‘virtual environment’” (Screen Africa 2005)
In this technically advanced day and age, production and editing can be done from almost
anywhere...As a result Glasshouse’s editors have become totally mobile and are able to edit
wherever and whenever the client needs, be it from home, an office or a film set.... and for
those bigger agency and client approvals, we have full edit suites with HD and 3D
capabilities at both Blade and Ministry of Illusion located in Bryanston Johannesburg . We
have recently just invested in the top of the line MAC PRO 12 core system, with the latest
final cut and avid 5 media composer software, capable of 4:4:4 HD video and 3D. Also
equipped with DvCam, HDVcam, BSP decks and the catering services and full facility support
that our commercial clients have become accustomed to.

In addition, Glasshouse has three Mac book pros with FCP & and Media composer 5,
supported by large portable drives. This has given us the flexibility to edit anywhere at any
time. As an added bonus, we have found that editing on our client’s premises helps to save
time and money if the job so requires. Clients love that they can book an experienced and
creative editor, producer and edit suite at a moment’s notice, on set or in their offices at a
fraction of their previous budgets. We quote on a rate card basis charging only for the
expertise needed - editor fees, machine hire, supervision and production only, with NO
MARK UP on external facility costs.
Though based in Johannesburg Glasshouse has a large presence in the Cape town market,
offering extremely competitive budgets, and has as a result been successful in completing
some really wonderful full Cape Town work!
