Rapid Pictures chooses FORscene

Forbidden Technologies, the AIM quoted owner and developer of the FORscene cloud-based video editing platform, is pleased to announce that post production house Rapid Pictures has chosen to use FORscene as its metadata logging platform.

Rapid Pictures provide offline, online and audio services. Their clients, such as Firecracker Films and IWC Media, have recently produced Extreme Preppers, Half Built House and Unsafe Sex In The City.

Starting with a single production, Rapid Pictures have now embraced FORscene, and it is currently being used by four of its production company clients.

Ben Plumb, Facilities Director of Rapid Pictures, said: "Since we installed FORscene two months ago, several other productions have requested the use of FORscene. It is proving quite a hit."

Stephen Streater, CEO of Forbidden Technologies, said: "We are happy to be working with Rapid Pictures. It is pleasing to see that more of their clients are recognising the benefits of using FORscene and we are looking forward to further developing the relationship with Rapid."
