About Platform Post Production
Platform Post Production is an independent boutique post-production house based in Soho, London. Established in 2001, it provides creative and technical finishing for broadcast television, advertising, streaming and theatrical content. Its work spans scripted comedy, factual documentaries, drama, investigative journalism, reality television and children's programming, alongside commercials, sponsorship idents and digital brand campaigns.
The business began as a specialist editing house serving children's television and sports broadcasts. It subsequently expanded into visual effects and commercial finishing, developing a broader offering that brings editorial, colour, sound and image finishing together within one facility. Its integrated approach supports projects from offline editing through final quality control and delivery.
Creative and technical capabilities
The studio offers HDR and SDR colour grading, online finishing, digital conforming and offline editorial. Its visual effects and design work includes 2D compositing, 3D CGI, motion graphics, title animation and programme branding. These capabilities support both long-form productions and shorter commercial projects requiring campaign graphics, finishing and multiple delivery versions.
Audio services cover sound design, multitrack mixing, voice-over recording, automated dialogue replacement and Foley, including immersive Dolby Atmos mixing. Technical operations support digital ingest, transcoding, quality control and DPP file delivery, connecting creative finishing with the practical requirements of broadcast distribution.
Selected work
Television credits include full post-production on This Country, alongside editorial, grading, visual effects and audio finishing for Horrible Histories. Other projects include Operation Ouch!, Quacks, The Tracey Ullman Show, Tracey Breaks the News and The Apprentice. Its factual portfolio includes Uncanny, Judi Dench's Wild Borneo Adventure and The Base: A British Army Scandal.
Commercial work includes Domino's sponsorship idents for The Voice UK, Mitsubishi's Channel 4 documentary sponsorship campaign, Nike's SP Utility Run campaign and projects for Deliveroo, Currys PC World, Virgin Atlantic and Red Bull. Across these markets, the studio supplies combinations of editorial, design, finishing and delivery tailored to each production.
