Introducing ArkLink

Underpinned by years of experience and development, CineArk has successfully deployed this technology on some of the world’s most ambitious studio feature films.

What is ArkLink?

Through the use of secure, cutting-edge technology, Remote Production enables crews to continue filming whilst being in geographically separated locations. All stakeholders, wherever they are situated can be an integral part of the filming process and can securely collaborate and communicate in real-time: the camera can be located in Iceland, with the Director watching live in London and the Producers in L.A.
