The Evolution of the Nest

Author: James Vellacott 

It has been 11 years in the making, a post-production house facility that has evolved progressively with the digital video landscape. The Nest Post started as a studios and production facility in 2009, in 2017 we acquired an 8000 square foot commercial space near the beautiful St. Katharines Dock by Tower Bridge, Facebook architects Gensler designed for us a truly inspirational creative space, it was built, and The Nest Post facility was born.  

In the last decade we’ve seen clients demanding a faster turnaround and budget effective post production solution for the increasing spectrum of digital channels including; TV series production, branded content, TVC’s, short form, narrative and social media content. To answer this we’ve designed the facilities here to be truly flexible whether you are looking for dry hire facilities or an end to end post-production house service.

We are also pretty unique as we are specialists in 2D/3D Motion GFX and the team works side by side with editors in a seamless process to increase both on screen impact and workflow efficiency. The work we are currently undertaking with Sky and their FYI childrens current affairs show is a testament to the importance of integrating editing and GFX for series and content production.

The hirable facilities here also include production desk or office hire, private edit suites, audio suites, vocal booth, Davinci colour grading and even a soundproofed, tiered cinema. 

It’s been a tumultuous couple of years with an economy blighted initially by Brexit and now Covid. Many production or post production companies are looking for safe and flexible production office space with on-site facilities that can be hired on a project basis as needed. 
The Nest Post is 1.4 miles from Shoreditch, 3 miles from Soho and 1.2 miles from the agencies on the South Bank. We are considered a Covid-safe environment as per the government guidelines as our fresh air systems replace the open plan Nest’s air with fresh air every 15 minutes and with on site parking available drivers are welcome.

Flexibility seems to be the ‘new normal’ and we are embracing it. I’d be pleased to give you a tour of the facility, feel free to email me at james@thenestpost.co.uk and I’ll show you around.
