Beam was established as an in-house FTP process following the making of Gladiator. This simple process enabled Sir Ridley Scott to immediately review and approve visual effects work being completed by The Mill in London – while he was still shooting in Malta.

This required a real-time digital platform with a toolset that would instinctively serve the demands of the filmmaking process.
