IBC 2018 Highlights: Cloud dubbing, press interviews and 4K 4Charity

Over 57,000 delighted delegates and around 1,700 exhausted exhibitors have made it back from Amsterdam in one piece. Now we've had a chance to dust off and collect our thoughts, we've put together our highlights from another fantastic IBC Show.

Cloud Dubbing in The Dam

We know, no big shock here, but we had another awesome response to our cloud dubbing service in Amsterdam - and it's always fun seeing fresh faces and friends to talk dubbing done differently (among other things).

As more and more content owners get onboard with this new approach to dubbing, we're able to show that cloud-powered localization isn't just a concept - we're now creating 150,000 minutes of dubbed footage every month - and making the dubbing process up to 10-times more efficient.

Julian Day said:

'What it's about is opening up choices for customers - giving greater access to a bigger talent pool of voice actors and dubbing directors so they're not tied and constrained by cities, geographies and relationships with existing sound studios.

'It gives [our clients] opportunities to do things differently that they couldn't do before - so it's no longer one-size-fits-all.'

Welcoming ZOO Dubai

After announcing the opening of our state-of-the-art facility in Dubai, which offers secure, local services in the Middle East, we welcomed Director for Middle East Accounts & Partnerships, Imad and Business Development Manager, Yassine to the jam-packed trade show.

'It was great having the guys join us from our Dubai set-up. There's a lot of exciting things going on in the region, so visitors to the stand loved hearing our plans for Arabic content.

'Following a week with the rest of the team in Amsterdam, I can only wish Imad and Yassine a speedy recovery from their IBC initiation.'

Tony said:

'We're not like a traditional localization company - we do everything through the cloud with a whole team of R&D working to create solutions for our clients.

'We treat dubbing in a whole new way. Last year we launched our cloud-based dubbing service and it really is revolutionary. As its an online recording system, our clients are able to record in the cloud which makes for a very efficient way to distribute content.'

Mazin tackles 4K 4Charity

Our Business Development Director for Europe, Mazin Al-Jumaili was up bright and early to tackle the 4K 4Charity Fun Run in Amstelpark in aid of two fantastic charities - Stichting NewTechKids and Iridescent.

Mazin might not call the morning alarm a highlight per se, but it was a fantastic atmosphere and great to see everyone getting involved for a really worthy cause. Both charities are focused on increasing diversity and inclusion in media and entertainment industry - and the race helped raise over $65k for the charities.
