Film laboratory, digital dailies, and postproduction facility, Cinelab Film & Digital, has acquired fluent/image, a provider of imaging services, media workflows, and developer of Coherence, an automation platform for managing VFX pulls, QC and submissions.
“fluent/image brings a depth of expertise that complements our existing services perfectly. Whether you’re working on a tentpole feature or a high-end series, joined-up thinking between picture post and VFX is essential,” said Adrian Bull, CEO of Cinelab Film & Digital. “fluent/image shares our obsession with quality and efficiency. Their team strengthens our ability to support clients across the full production pipeline, whether working on film, digital or hybrid projects. Together, we’re offering smarter, more scalable support at the point where it’s needed most.”
fluent/image has delivered media and VFX workflows on major productions including The Martian, The Matrix Resurrections, Prometheus, The King’s Man, The Last Duel, Argylle, and Mission: Impossible – Fallout. The team specialises in high-performance media management across the full content lifecycle, including ingest, metadata indexing, editorial media oversight, version control, VFX turnover and submission workflows, archive creation, and secure infrastructure design.
“At fluent/image, we’ve always built tools and services that keep pace with the real-world challenges of production,” said Jon Ferguy, founder of fluent/image. “Joining Cinelab allows us to scale those services and offer even closer support to our clients.”
The integration is already underway, with fluent/image’s tools and expertise now integrated into Cinelab’s infrastructure.
