We have a unique hall in Amsterdam, serving as a reference cinema. It's equipped with a BARCO 2K DP90 projector — Dolby certified 7.1 sound installation — and a projection screen measuring over 9 meters in diameter.
Grading, editing, vfx checks, audio mastering, viewings, DCP checks: everything can be done right here on cinema scale with true cinema sound.
OQTOO delivers all post production services, from on-set data handling to cinema deliveries.
About us
OQTOO is a post production house for fiction and documentary drama productions. Our approach is different from existing post production institutions, because we work with a large pool of top notch flexible professionals, rather than a set number of employees.
OQTOO is a hub, the core of a hand-picked network of the most talented editors, colorists, sound mixers and specialised companies. All of whom share a passion for film making. This is what we call 'Collective Soul'.
One-stop shop
For a producer OQTOO functions as one window for full service post production. From data handling on set through to the final cinema deliveries; together with the producer we put together the right team for the job. The characteristic and individual qualities of the OQTOO freelancers is an important part of this choice. We offer a large freedom of choice from a range of talented specialists, and our focus is always on the highest possible quality.
Tailored quality, a customized crew, cut to perfectly fit the film at hand. Together we look at the best options for a team suitable for the project, at a competitive price.
Cash rebate
The Netherlands Film Production Incentive is a scheme for feature films, documentaries and animated films with an incentive of 30% of the eligible production cost. It is based on a cash rebate system. OQTOO can guide your project through this production incentive and help you with a direct cash rebate on your post production costs in the Netherlands.
Collective soul
Within the OQTOO network all participants are independent, also from us; we simply connect the right people for the job under one label: Collective Soul. Everyone works on their own terms and their own quotes. OQTOO facilitates a clear and fair process with one invoice and one contact as a service to the producer.
Vision
Over the years we've built a large network of very good and motivated professionals. Bundling project specific talent with great care and knowledge is a key point. In our view, the future of post production will be way more ad hoc than is now often still the case. The shoot and the post will become more like one another and the overlap between the tow will grow, into a more streamlined process, monitored more closely by the producer. OQTOO functions both as a collective and as one team dedicated to serve your production.
About us
Ben Willems (1957) worked for over two decades at the Dutch broadcasting company NOB in a variety of technical and management positions. In 2006 he co-founded Filmmore, an international post production house with offices in Holland and Belgium, which grew into a successful business. After nine years Ben left the company to start the innovative production platform DOUC, a production company for multi-perspective storytelling, and in 2016 went on to found OQTOO, with the vision to innovate the post production process.
Arnoud Noordegraaf (1974) is a director and a composer. Since 2001 he has worked on a steady flow of film works and operas. Apart from his autonomous works he has always been producing and facilitating film productions for stage arts, for companies like the Dutch Opera or Holland Festival. He has collaborated with directors like Hal Hartley and artists like Gary Hill and Ai Weiwei. Noordegraaf joined OQTOO to inject a healthy dose of creative energy and enthusiasm.
