Picture Shop Post

What Picture Shop Post does

Picture Shop Post (legal entity: Picture Shop, LLC) is a global post-production services company specializing in color grading, visual effects (VFX), sound mixing, editorial, dailies, mastering, and restoration for feature films, episodic television, streaming content, and commercials. Founded in 2016, the company operates 11 owned facilities across the United States (Burbank, Los Angeles, New York, Albuquerque, Atlanta, Austin, New Orleans), Canada (Toronto, Vancouver), and the United Kingdom (London – Marshall Street headquarters and Pinewood Studios in Iver), with regional Managing Directors leading each major market.

The company's core offering is anchored in color grading and finishing, supported by complementary services across the post-production pipeline. It operates proprietary web-based platforms — Pulse, RUSH, and Scout — that enable remote access, viewing, and management of audiovisual content, a capability formalized through dedicated remote color review locations (Albuquerque, Atlanta, Austin, New Orleans). Service delivery relies on a roster of 70+ artists including senior colorists, sound mixers, flame artists, and editors, many of whom are Emmy, HPA, BAFTA, and Golden Reel award winners or nominees with credits on Academy Award-winning and nominated productions.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services billed via project-based quotes or rate cards, with payment terms of cash-in-advance or net-30 days. The company also offers equipment rental and managed service contracts for ongoing client relationships, particularly out of its London facility. Picture Shop operates as a subsidiary of Streamland Media LLC, a holding company that also encompasses Formosa Group, Ghost VFX, Picture Head, The Farm, and Finalé — providing cross-entity referral and integrated post-production capabilities. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting major film studios, production companies, and streaming platforms (Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Paramount, Warner Bros, Lionsgate, A24, FX Networks), with marketing driven primarily by portfolio, industry awards, and artist reputation rather than digital demand generation.
