Scalable Production Solutions for Global Vertical Slates
South London Verticals provides the elite creative and technical framework required to transition a vertical script into a high conversion masterpiece. Our infrastructure is designed to act as a "Plug and Play" solution for global platforms, ensuring that your UK production meets international "Billionaire-tier" standards.
We offer two primary modes of engagement:
-
Unit Hire Model
The high-performance engine for established production offices.
This model is designed for studios that have already secured locations and talent. We provide the "Unit" that brings the script to life with unmatched speed and Large Format aesthetics.
9:16 Script Optimization: Comprehensive vetting of blocking and pacing for mobile retention.
Technical Vetting: Technical sign-off on your chosen venues to ensure "Steadicam Runway" compatibility and power requirements.
The Global-Sync DIT: Verified RAW media offloads and overnight proxy delivery to your international editorial team.
Investment: Typical 10-day production blocks start from £37,500. (Bespoke quotes provided based on script density and technical complexity.)

Full-Service Model
our dedicated UK Production Office.
For international platforms requiring a turnkey "Script-to-Master" solution, SLV manages the end-to-end logistical lifecycle of the shoot.
Managed Scouting: We secure premium UK properties that meet our "Vertical Vetting" criteria for luxury and scale.
Casting Coordination: We manage agent outreach and conduct vertical-specific screen tests to ensure talent "pops" on 9:16 displays.
Logistics & Personnel: Full management of Art Dept, Wardrobe, and On-site Catering.
Investment: Standard Unit Investment + 20% Production Management Fee (applied to pass-through costs).
Cinema Quality.
Vertical Native.
South London Verticals provides ARRI Alexa Mini LF production units for the global micro-drama market. 9:16 native. Global-sync ready.
The "Core Four" Features:
Cinema Standards: We shoot 4.5K Open Gate on fast glass. No cropping. No resolution loss. Just high-gloss, "Billionaire-vibe" visuals.
Vertical Native: From 90-degree rigging to UI-safe monitoring, every frame is engineered for the smartphone screen.
Fluid Movement: Professional Steadicam integration for vertical "walk-and-talk" sequences.
Global Sync: Our DIT pipeline ensures your international edit suites receive rushes overnight. Speed is our second language.
Engineering Speed & Security.
We don't just capture footage; we manage a global data pipeline.
The SLV "Global-Sync" DIT Workflow:
On-Set Redundancy: Every byte of data is checksum-verified (Silverstack/Hedge) and backed up to triple-redundancy RAID storage before the camera cards are cleared.
Pre-Graded Proxies: We generate lightweight H.264/H.265 proxies on-set with "Series-Standard" LUTs applied, ensuring your editors see the final vision immediately.
Cloud Continuity: Using high-speed Aspera or Frame.io protocols, we upload rushes overnight. Your post-production team in Beijing or LA can begin cutting before the London crew has even finished breakfast.
Metadata Precision: Every clip is tagged with Scene, Take, and Episode metadata natively in the file headers. This eliminates "Search & Sort" time in post-production.

We provide a fully integrated, "plug-and-play" production unit. No fragmented hiring, one point of contact for entire camera and data dept.
