Premiering on Thursday 27th June, My Lady Jane is an epic reimagining of the tragic story of Lady Jane Grey, who was queen of England for nine days in Tudor times before being beheaded.
It’s a tale of true love and high adventure set in an alt-universe of action, history, fantasy, comedy, romance, and a fair bit of bodice ripping rumpy-pumpy.
VFX-heavy, using multiple camera formats and with an evolving team of post vendors, the series’ post-production was not without its challenges.
To deliver a high-quality production to stringent deadlines, the production team needed a solution that enabled efficient, secure, and creative workflows without compromising quality or performance.

Pulls Automation
Pulls Automation
One of the tools on the Origami platform is Phoenix, which brings fast, surprisingly simple pulls to productions of any size.
Phoenix enabled the team to access, transfer, and back up their data quickly, easily and securely, regardless of where they worked, where the media was stored, or what platform they used.
It offered a range of features and options to customise and optimise the data management process, such as compression, encryption, deduplication, and metadata extraction and allowed the team to pull only the needed data, when required, without wasting time or bandwidth.
Phoenix also ensured that the data was always up to date and consistent across all devices and platforms, eliminating the risk of errors or conflicts. It supported the various formats and resolutions, such as EXR, RAW, and DPX, giving the team the required flexibility and quality.
Will Steer, 1st Assistant Editor said, “The way Origami works is quite intuitive. With Origami the pulls obviously just happen automatically. There is no waiting around. The good thing is that it works with whatever system of storage, cloud or on-premises.”
Enhancing Remote Collaboration
With vendors changing though out the life of the project, the control and access management, visibility and insight that Origami offered, along with the inbuilt automation significantly helped the team’s ability to pivot and innovate.
The dashboard enabled the production team to stay abreast of the project’s shifting requirements and meet the ever-changing demands of this complex post-production process.
Origami Phoenix’s adaptive nature seamlessly handled the data transfers and collaboration needs, allowing the team to focus on the creative and logistical aspects without being bogged down by technical hurdles.
The platform’s ease of use and intuitive interface made it accessible to internal and external teams, ensuring everyone was on the same page and could contribute effectively.
VFX Editor, Chris Lloyd said, “I was used to the traditional way of sending an EDL and waiting several days for the material to be distributed. I’m amazed at how easy Origami is to use and how quickly the material is pulled. I’ll definitely use Origami again.”
