Video Assist
Pro video help operators giving tracking and playback for shoots across Spain, \t\t\t\t\t\tfrom Madrid's studios to Barcelona and the Canary Islands.
Here is how this works in practice. A video help operator manages the on-set playback system that allows the director, cinematographer, and other key staff to review takes at once after they are filmed. From shoots at Ciudad de la Luz in Alicante to shoots at Korda PC Studios in Madrid, reliable video help is key for efficient decision-making on set. They capture a reference feed from the camera, manage monitors, and keep an organized library of takes and selects across the shooting day.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with video help operators who keep your on-set review workflow running smoothly across Spain. Our network has pros skilled with the newest playback systems, multi-camera setups, and remote tracking solutions — whether you are filming ICAA-supported features in Madrid or global co-productions in the Canary Islands and Almeria, our operators deliver broadcast-standard results for features, series, and commercial shoots.

Here is the short of it. The pool delivers for the Almodóvar El Deseo slate (Pedro Almodóvar's on-set tracking scene matching across Pain and Glory, Parallel Mothers). Bayona Apaches Entertainment shoots (Society of the Snow 2024 Oscar nom — wide on-set previs-overlay-and-VFX-plate tracking for the Andes survival sequences, The Impossible tsunami-VFX tracking, A Monster Calls creature-tracking). Sorogoyen Atresmedia Cine drama. Plus prestige series at Mediapro Studios Sant Joan Despí (Money Heist La Casa de Papel multi-stage playback infrastructure inside the 8-stage Mediapro tricky).
Here is the breakdown. Specialty domains have on-set VFX-plate composite overlays (working alongside El Ranchito VFX supervisors).
