Long before the covid-19 pandemic, post-production expert Ewan Macleod saw an opportunity to do things a little differently.

After starting his career at MPC, Ewan honed his craft across borders including a stint at New York-based animation VFX house Click 3X and London’s Prodigious UK where he headed up the Publicis Network in-house post facility, as well consulting for the likes of Heineken and PepsiCo.

During this time, he also established Golden Square Post Production and Disqo where he worked alongside highly skilled VFX artists as executive producer, while also sourcing new talent.

As the landscape evolved and a new world of content emerged, Ewan spotted a gap in the market back in 2015. “I wanted to break away from the rigid systems of established models and find a solution for introducing high-end talent to answer the growing need for more and better content,” he says. “Equally, from a cost point of view, the traditional facility price structure wasn't flexible enough to work in this changing landscape.”

It was at this time that the freelance talent pool was exploding. “Not only was the technology now portable and affordable to have at home,” Ewan states, “but there was a generation of top VFX artists and colourists etc, who had done their time at the 'coal face’ of a facility house and were looking for a new work / life balance.”
