Experienced film producers, film technicians and developers have come together to create ‘Remote Filming’ for clients, agency and producers to securely see what their camera sees from anywhere in the world.

Remote Filming offers a simple and easy solution for remote viewing shoots.

There's no time like the present.

As shooting and film production is starting again across the world, strict rules for crews and social distancing make it much more challenging than it was before coronavirus. And long-term uncertainty hanging over business travel, we don’t how quickly we will want or be permitted to travel for business makes remote film production an inevitability. 

Remote Filming means people can participate in a shoot anywhere in the world, from anywhere in the world, without the need for expensive hardware or crew or to install complicated apps or software, <0.4 millisecond latency and with unlimited data and unlimited viewers.

Remote Filming is a simple and streamlined remote filming solution that allows encrypted, lag-free remote viewing of single or multi-camera shoots.  It’s easy-to-install and easy to view.

It's a timely response although it's been in  development since long before the pandemic. Coronavirus rather speeded up its finishing up.

Remote Filming system isn’t built by techies for techies. It has been developed for film production people for film production people.

But not just film production people. It also works perfectly for Advertising Agencies,  Clients & Brands, Content Creators, Post-Production, Casting, Location Scouting, Film Studios, EPK & Interviews, TV, Broadcast & Movie Production and PR & Social.

The team  has many years behind them in the production industry, founders Yanina Barry and Alex Seery recognised the need for a more secure and intuitive solution to remote viewing, feedback and review on set.

Whilst there is a myriad of software solutions on the market for remote communication and even for remote filming, the team wanted to create something that was completely fit for purpose. The challenge they often faced themselves on set was that there was no easy way to see a live camera feed remotely. The process often required a lot of expensive proprietary hardware and software and installing potentially risky applications. An experienced operator was needed on set and it made lines of communication complicated.

Executive Producer, Owner of Good Films and Remote Filming Co-Founder, Yanina Barry comments: “The idea originally came to us because we have spent years shooting commercials, feature films, entertainment and broadcast for overseas clients and we found it was becoming increasingly necessary for people to get feedback on the ongoing shoot from colleagues and clients back home. Despite the huge variety of software at our disposal, we realised there was nothing that could allow you to see a camera feed directly and securely with only a standard Wi-Fi connection and no expensive hardware or crew. Now that the production industry is facing its biggest remote-working challenge yet, we wanted to share our solution. The world we re-join will not be the same as the one we left. We anticipate the need for remote working will not subside in an environmentally-conscious future.”

Remote Filming is also keen to promote the ecological benefits of its system. Whilst production budgets and travel restrictions will continue for some time, reducing the need for production companies, agencies and clients to travel will have a lasting and positive benefit on the environment, as well as the budget.

Remote Filming works for multi-camera, location or studio shoots and can be viewed by unlimited authorised people across the world. In order to view Remote Filming, users are simply provided with encrypted access keys to log in through a private portal using their usual internet browser. Once logged in, the images and audio from set are transmitted live in real-time. Remote Filming has a latency of under 400 milliseconds.

Remote Filming operates on any connection, ensuring content can be viewed both quickly and securely.

Both the shoot and the remote viewers can be anywhere in the world; the production company, advertising agency and clients can all log in remotely and from different locations to see what their camera sees. The only equipment needed to transmit is a dedicated on-set laptop, an inexpensive capture card and an internet connection.

Digital Workflow Supervisor, Co-Owner of Hijack Post and Remote Filming Co-Founder Alex Seery, comments: “The faster we proceed into a digital age of information sharing, the whole production industry is facing increasingly tighter NDA restrictions from clients, studios, commissioners and advertisers. Our priority from the beginning was to ensure the software we created would be completely secure and that only approved viewers could access the feed via an encrypted peer to peer connection. Our second priority was to make it accessible and as easy to use as possible - without having to buy expensive hardware or get to grips with complicated software. We designed the system and interface to be simple, familiar and robust, fit for purpose in a way that wouldn’t interfere with on set communication.”

Remote Filming is available for immediate use for any production shooting anywhere in the world.
