View source for Soho media and post-production community

{{unreferenced|date=April 2019}}
Much of the British independent film, television and [[post-production]] industry is based in London's [[Soho]] area. Many of the people who work in the industry form a village-like community, with the various companies hiring and re-hiring one another's employees, and, like many other villages, having a lively social life that revolves around [[gossip]] and the eighty or so [[pub]]s in Soho.

Post-production companies in Soho include:
* [[Ascent Media]]
* [[Double Negative (VFX)|Double Negative]]
* [[Film Cut Post Production]]
* [[Framestore CFC]]
* [[Goldcrest Films|Goldcrest Post-Production]]
* [[Moving Picture Company]]
* [[Evolutions Television]]
* [[Reliance MediaWorks Ltd]]
* [[Rushes (company)|Rushes]]
* [[TVC Soho]]
* [[The Yard (company)|The Yard]]

==Locations==
The above listed "Cinesite" company is near London's [[Piccadilly Circus]], though there is also a non-graphical department based at [[Pinewood Studios]], who made some of mechanical props for the ''[[Harry Potter (film series)|Harry Potter]]'' films, amongst other productions.

"The Mill" is at the western end of [[Dean Street]] and is in a white 3-storey building with a purple door. Whereas a rival Co "Framestore-CFC" is just a minutes walk away along the same road, being midway along, on a corner, with a large windowed frontage along its ground-floor.

Also, though not media related, but [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI]] related, is [[Sony]]'s PlayStation game creation department of Europe, which is also located in London's [[Soho]], specifically off [[Golden Square]], the latter having a sleeping-giant sculpture that is opposite the front door of [[London Studio|SCE]]. This [[video-game studio]] is housed in a large stone-built  building with a brass [[plaquette|plaque]] out front.
