On Tour with SZA: The Remote Workflow Behind the Scenes

House Post is a creative post production studio working across edit, color, and sound design. Based in Los Angeles with collaborators around the world, the company brings high-level craft to commercials, music videos, and feature films for clients including Nike, The North Face, A24, Google, Porsche, American Eagle, Timberland, MLB, Arc'teryx, Walmart, Motorola, Nissan, GQ, Dell, FIGS, Sephora, Nike, Chipotle, Samsung, Jordan and Adidas, as well as musical artists like SZA, Jack Harlow, Quavo, Lil Nas X, Rich Brian, Kali Uchis, PartyNextDoor and J Balvin.

From the beginning, House Post’s model has been about connection—between artists, ideas, and mediums. That spirit shows up in their work, but also in how they operate behind the scenes: a custom-built, modular workflow that allows editors, sound designers, and colorists to collaborate in real-time.

As the studio’s output and global footprint expanded, so did the need for a system that could meet the demands of their process—without slowing it down.

That’s where Suite came in.

“We were looking to build a workflow that matched how we already think—fast, collaborative, and clean,” says Founder and Executive Producer, Kevin Clark.

Designing for Flow

Before Suite, House Post was operating on its own system of in-office servers and remote desktop connections. But it wasn’t purpose-built for growth across time zones and artist types.

It worked—but the old workflow wasn’t scalable in a way that matched the team's ambitions.

“We had a remote workflow,” Clark says, “but we were hitting that point where even small delays started to feel like missed opportunities. We wanted to explore what tools were out there.”

Rather than bolt on more hardware or chase new software solutions every few months, the team took a different approach: find a tool that could serve as the invisible backbone to their creative process, not a constraint.

Suite as the Backbone

Suite offered the clarity House Post was looking for: one centralized space for media, with clean ingest, real-time access with file streaming, and no relinking or folder confusion.

Instead of building around limitations, the team could now build around momentum.

“When you’re editing, coloring, and designing sound in parallel, everything needs to feel tight," Clark notes. "Suite gave us a shared architecture that didn’t slow us down.”

Here's how it works:

  • All remote project media now lives in Suite, instantly accessible by any artist across the studio’s global roster.
  • Ingest can begin through Suite Connect, ensuring that files go to the right place—immediately, and without folder sprawl.
  • Once media lands in Suite, editors and assistants can start cutting within minutes, often while assets are still coming in.

“It’s subtle, but that's the point,” Clark says. "The more seamless the workflow process, the more we can focus on what matters—the work.”

On Tour with SZA

One of House Post’s biggest stress tests for its new workflow came while working on visuals for the Grand National Tour, headlined by SZA and Kendrick Lamar.

Tight timelines, multiple collaborators, and live-stage integration meant there was no room for delay.

“We had editors and colorists in LA, and another team on-site during rehearsals with SZA’s team. The turnaround was constant,” says Clark. “Suite allowed us to stay connected as if we were all in the same room—even though we weren’t.”

Media was uploaded, reviewed, and adjusted within hours—without tech hurdles, lag, or versioning issues.

“There’s a moment in fast-paced work where you either break the rhythm or protect it. Suite helped us protect it across this entire job and work with multiple teams collaboratively.”

Rewriting the Timeline

One of the biggest outcomes of adopting Suite wasn’t just remote flexibility—it was speed.

When the process is clean, fast, and unified, timelines change. What used to take a day can now happen in an afternoon. Artists don’t have to wait to “start”—they’re already in it.

“We’re working on a campaign now with two lead editors, two cutting assists, producers across time zones, and motion designers,” Clark explains. “We’re building pre-cache drives and spinning up the project on Suite in parallel. It just keeps things moving.”

That velocity doesn’t just benefit the artists—it becomes visible to clients too. Faster turnarounds, fewer check-ins, and a smoother review cycle.

“Our clients have felt the difference in how we work and its a massive benefit to their timelines” says Clark. 

Creative Infrastructure, Not Tech Chatter

What’s notable about House Post’s use of Suite is that it doesn’t get talked about on a daily basis. And that’s by design.

“The best tools are the ones you don’t have to explain,” Clark says. “Suite doesn’t interrupt anything. It integrates. It disappears. And it supports every part of what we do.”

Even for jobs where everyone is local, Suite is still part of the process. Its structure helps protect the quality of the work and the sanity of the team.

“We don’t make decisions based on convenience,” Clark adds. “We choose the tools that help us think and move better. Suite is one of them.”

Looking Forward

For House Post, the future is about refining what works. The company’s modular approach to post lets them plug into projects at any scale, across any medium. And as the team grows, Suite remains a quiet constant beneath it all.

“We’re not trying to outpace ourselves,” says Clark. “We’re trying to keep the creative sharp—and build systems that make that easier.”

Suite has become part of that system, making a high-level creative studio run the way it should—smoothly, quickly, and with total clarity.
