The office is quiet, the grounds are empty - another year has wrapped at our countryside HQ
Here’s a glimpse of DO across the seasons and our new additions taking shape…
Thanks to everyone who made 2025 what it was, we’ll be back on 5th January 2026 🌟
Our Digital Orchard (Orchard Onset) and @orchardcrew DITs, and friends, gathered at DO HQ for a LiveGrade refresher session 💥
Led by CEO Callum Just, with support from Orchard Onset DIT Joe Dibble @joescolouringin , training covered project setups, building the image pipeline from camera, managing multi-shoot workflows, and exploring new LiveGrade 7 features; alongside a hands-on LiveGrade rig build.
A huge thank you to Dan Emmett from @eizocolour , who also came over to give our DITs a demo of their latest CG2400SV ‘ColorEdge’ monitor, which was followed by a deep-dive Q&A session. A great session to keep our DIT teams sharp, aligned, and up to speed with the latest on-set workflows!
Big turnout at HQ yesterday for our latest camera workshops 🤝🎥
Really lovely seeing so many of the crew in one place - operators, trainees, assistants, familiar faces, new faces, office cat, Phillip the pheasant… a full house honestly.
Huge thank you to @opticalsupport & @jamesbutler_cine for leading the sessions and sharing so much knowledge across the day. From assisting Trinity operators, to our Access Schemes going over camera prep, travel logistics, large format workflows and some of our ops getting hands back on the rig - lots covered and such a good atmosphere throughout.
Always nice being reminded how much talent sits within our wonderful team 🫶

Yesterday, we welcomed our NEW Access 2026: Trainee cohorts to DO HQ 🎉
DIT & Video - Digital Orchard
Camera - @orchardcrew
The first workshop was all about getting to know the Digital Orchard way - from a full site tour and understanding the trainee role, to mastering on-set etiquette
Our team provided an intro to Digital Orchard’s facilities and countryside location, including a full site tour and behind-the-scenes insight by CEO Callum Just into the company’s history and technical operations. This was followed by in-depth sessions from Callum Just (for DIT & Video), and Orchard Crew’s Tamia Diaz @aimatamia (for Camera) for each trainee cohort. These sessions explored the roles and responsibilities of trainees on set, covering on-set and industry best practices
And, of course, no first day is complete without taking part in our long-standing tradition… Fish Finger Friday 🐟
Here’s to an exciting journey ahead with this talented group!
🌟 Meet our Access: 2026 Camera Trainee Cohort 🎥✨
We’re so excited to introduce this year’s six trainees joining the Access programme - our second year of supporting emerging camera talent alongside their journey in the industry.

No More Red 🤍
Part of our Access:2025 Trainee Cohort, Bethany Lamyman @bethlamyman (2nd) and DIT Vincenzo Onorato @colore_dit , from our Orchard Crew team, helped bring No More Red to life with @arsenal - a long-term commitment to tackling the root causes of youth violence in London alongside @adidas .
The film retraces the journey of Tashan, lost to knife crime in 2019, through the eyes of his parents, highlighting the power of togetherness and the role of community in enabling young people to continue their journeys.
