Post-production management at Untold Studios, powered by CETA Software

5 locations. 400+ artists. 1 platform. 

Untold Studios has become a creative powerhouse in just seven years, delivering award-nominated work across commercial, film, and episodic content. With BAFTA, Emmy, and VES nominations under their belt and a client list that includes Disney, Virgin Media, and Direct TV, their portfolio spans standout productions like The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, The Boys, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3. 

To keep post-production running smoothly across global locations—including London, LA, New York, Toronto, and Mumbai—Untold Studios relies on CETA Software. The platform powers everything from artist scheduling and budgeting to full project visibility, making it the backbone of their studio management and post-production planning. 

There isn’t another production management tool that ticks as many boxes as CETA does – it keeps business operations completely transparent.

Comprehensive project tracking 

“CETA Software has revolutionised the way we schedule and plan jobs,” says Tom Walter, Head of Operations at Untold Studios. “It’s easy to see the schedules of 300-400 artists at a time across multiple projects – enabling us to oversee work from bidding to delivery.” 

The studio also uses the software to draw analytics and metrics, which is particularly useful for tracking resource spending and potential overhead costs – two factors that can easily be overlooked without a clear production plan. 

“We can link CETA to Salesforce for even more clarity,” continues Phillip Preston, Head of Commercial and Finance. “And refer back to our older operations. If we wanted to see how we ran a previous project, we can go into the platform and find exact specifications of who ran it, who worked on it, how long it took, and how much it cost.” 

Full-scope management 

Untold Studios uses CETA throughout the entire production workflow, from bidding to scheduling and invoicing. Having everything on the same platform offers visibility, enabling the team to know exactly where they stand at all stages of the process.  

“Managing the business is far and away the most important thing CETA has helped us with,” explains Tom. “Over the past four years, we’ve discovered more and more tools on the platform that help us manage the studio on an end-to-end scale. It makes it much easier for us to run the company and focus our time on other aspects of the business.”

Implementing CETA Software has transformed the way Untold Studios operates, encouraging business growth and allowing the team to focus on the work itself, not just the planning.  

Accessible anywhere 

As a creative studio operating in Mumbai, LA, New York, Toronto, and a head office in London, Untold Studios needs clear communication. All locations are easily managed with visible workflows, up-to-date staff rotas, and clear-cut budgets across every project. Should the studios work on the same production, tasks are seamlessly passed from one to the other.  

“We can manage all talent on a global level from our London HQ,” says Tom. “There isn’t another production management tool that ticks as many boxes as CETA does – it keeps business operations completely transparent.” 

The industry standard 

CETA Software has become a trusted standard across the production industry. Studios like Untold already use it as a core part of their management workflow, which means new teams often come with prior experience. This familiarity minimises training time and accelerates onboarding. 

“CETA is the go-to for media production and planning,” concludes Phillip. “Post-production management at Untold Studios is now easier to put into action, and the support from the software team speeds up the process even further.”
