Engineering the future of creative workflows.

“In my eight years working alongside Sam Reid, I’ve seen him consistently transform the media production industry through cloud innovation.

EngineLab combines deep AWS expertise with real production experience—a rare combination in the M&E space. Sam and his team understand both the technical infrastructure and the creative workflows that studios depend on. They deploy production-ready studios in days, not months, with repeatable, scalable deployments across multiple regions.

When ARC Creative faced Technicolor’s shutdown and needed emergency infrastructure in 72 hours, EngineLab delivered a fully functioning VFX workflow in three days. They’re exactly the kind of specialised partner that strengthens the AWS ecosystem and accelerates cloud transformation for creative studios worldwide.”

“We stood up ARC Creative in just a few days, with no plan or preparation. Suddenly, we were building a new studio and needed our artists creating immediately. There was no time for technical back-and-forth, we needed a solution that simply worked. EngineLab stepped in as true partners and made that possible.

EngineLab delivered a complete, cloud-based Flame setup that let our artists work at full studio performance from anywhere. No friction. No waiting. Just creativity in motion.

What started as five workstations has scaled to twenty as our needs have grown. Along the way, their support has felt less like a service and more like a partnership, experienced, calm, and always there when it matters.

As we approach our one-year anniversary, having completed over 130 projects, we’re still running our Flames with EngineLab, still moving fast.”

“Production-ready from day one. As a boutique studio without in-house technology support, we needed a cloud Flame solution that came with full support so we could confidently take on finishing work.

EngineLab had us up and running in AWS remarkably quickly, with a setup that integrated seamlessly into our existing workflow.

With EngineLab’s expert guidance and comprehensive training we quickly had our eyes opened to the flexibility of cloud technology and saw that it would allow us to scale as projects demand, exactly what we need!”

“We worked with EngineLab to integrate Deadline with AWS and extend our render capacity to the cloud. They helped us design and implement a cost-efficient, streamlined rendering workflow on AWS, making large-scale cloud rendering both simple and reliable.

Today, we can launch AWS render instances directly from our Deadline Monitor in just a few clicks and scale our capacity on demand, depending on production needs.

EngineLab were extremely responsive throughout the project, providing clear guidance and fast solutions. They turned what could have been a complex infrastructure challenge into a smooth and efficient transition.”

“The cloud partner that actually speaks VFX!

We were making a fully CG short film with artists working from London, and needed a cloud partner who could get us up and running fast. EngineLab delivered exactly that.

Our team worked on EngineLab Cloud — high-performance AMD workstations on AWS, secure storage, and a scalable Deadline Cloud render solution. Everything we needed to produce at a professional level without a physical facility.

We were using the latest beta versions of Pixar’s RenderMan and Houdini, so there were plenty of unknowns. The EngineLab team are expert problem solvers who went the extra mile to work through every challenge, keeping our artists focused on making the film, not fighting the technology. They’re exactly the partner an independent production needs.”
