No.8

No.8 was a London creative audio and visual post-production studio launched in April 2019 through the rebrand and operational overhaul of Scramble Soho. Its predecessor was an established audio facility with roots dating to 1995. The studio brought sound and picture disciplines together for commercial advertising, television, streaming productions, feature films and music videos.

Its integrated offering combined audio post-production, visual effects, CGI, colour grading, editorial and music services. Productions could access these disciplines through a single central point of contact, supporting projects that required coordinated sound and visual finishing. The business developed from its audio heritage into a broader post-production operation serving both advertising and entertainment.

Creative capabilities

Audio work encompassed sound design, dialogue recording, ADR, Foley and stereo or immersive mixing, including Dolby Atmos. Its visual departments provided photorealistic CGI, 2D and 3D animation, digital environments, set extensions, compositing and image cleanup. On-set VFX supervision and look development supported the preparation and execution of visual effects work.

Colour services covered creative and technical grading, while editorial capabilities included offline cutting, online finishing, conforming and versioning. Music services extended to bespoke composition, curation, licensing and supervision, complementing the studio's sound and picture work.

Expansion and company history

In April 2025, No.8 acquired boutique visual effects studio JAMVFX. The acquisition brought long-form production pipelines, senior creative talent and ongoing projects into the business, strengthening its capabilities for high-end television and streaming productions. The acquired team subsequently worked under the No.8 banner.

The directors announced insolvency proceedings on 30 June 2026, citing structural changes and wider economic pressures affecting commercial production. The company entered formal administration on 3 July 2026, and physical studio operations ceased. Its history therefore spans a 2019 multidisciplinary relaunch, an expansion into long-form visual effects and the subsequent cessation of normal operations in 2026.
