Boutique post production facility MandyVFX upgrades technology with new flame suites

Boutique post production facility – MandyVFX has up’d its capacity, boasting the arrival of new flame suites.

MandyVFX, located in the Fish building @ 230 Ponsonby Road, facilitates most of the post work for Flying Fish, and more recently they’ve worked on everything motion picture, from short and feature length films, music videos, online content, animation, campaigns direct with agencies and other production companies.

With 3 main edit suites, all of which can be geared for offline, animation, grade & online, the company is essentially a facility for hire run by general manager – Anita Ward, who is also the resident flame artist.

Says Ward: “There is an abundance of highly qualified and capable flame artists in New Zealand so the move from smoke to flame was not only to improve our own capabilities but we want to appeal to the freelance operators out there looking for a cool, full service facility for their already existing clients.”

Nestled next to Prego, MandyVFX has a plethora of incredible eats at its disposal, including the Lucky Taco (hosted by celebrity chefs Otis and Sarah Frizzell) parked at the Fish building Friday through Sunday.

Says Ward: “Client service is important in post production, whether it be a decaff trim macchiato triple shot, a gluten free vegetarian hummus and avocado salad, or a quarter pack with popcorn chicken, we have it all within very convenient range.”

More importantly, with the recent tech upgrades, MandyVFX becomes one of the fastest little post houses available.

Says Ward: “When people bring clients to a post facility to put the final touches on their campaigns, they tend to pay a lot of money per hour or day, they expect the equipment to be reliable, state of the art and obviously fast.”
