Since our first post production business, Rapid Pictures, was established in 1996, we’ve been on an amazing journey, growing our team of post producers and creatives, acquiring Crow TV the company we renamed Radiant Post Production, swiftly transitioning to remote services during the pandemic, and in 2022 opening our high-tech Manchester facilities.

Throughout it all we’ve worked on some incredible factual entertainment, shiny floor shows and documentaries for production houses, broadcasters and streaming services all over the world, and given our all to nurturing the next generation of talent in post.

It’s been quite a ride and now we’ve reached a point of consolidation and future planning, leading to the rebranding of our whole network of businesses and facilities into the Radiant Post Production Group.

Give us a follow over at as we’ll no longer be monitoring this account.
