Argus Productions was born in 2008 from the belief that the job of a slow-mo operator could—and should—be done differently. Understanding content and thinking editorially is just as crucial as knowing the tech. A revolutionary mindset at the time, it led to the creation of a company where dozens of EVS operators—trained in-house—combine technical skills with editorial insight. Over the years, Argus became a key player on the national and international stage, working on high-profile events like the Olympic Games as well as Euros and World Cups.

Since the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and the 2012 Summer Games in London, we’ve consistently taken part in the world’s biggest sporting event. We’ve delivered EVS services for NOS broadcasts from both the Netherlands and on-site—and as of 2020, also for Eurosport. Since 2010, we’ve also regularly sent teams of slow-mo operators and directors to help produce host broadcasting for disciplines like cycling, marathon, speed skating, and field hockey. This winter in Milan, we’ll again play our part in covering speed skating for NOS with a crew of 10 EVS operators and one replay director.

In 2018, Martijn, Haico, Matthijs, and Sjoerd decided to join forces. With over 100 years of combined editorial experience, they formed a collective that could take on more clients—and more complex projects. With a healthy dose of boldness and passion, Grinta Media was born.

In the summer of 2020, Revision and Argus Productions—two companies specializing in EVS and (replay) directing—merged under the Argus name. This combined knowledge and expertise strengthened Argus’s position in live media production and allowed the company to offer an even broader range of services.

In 2021, Grinta Media expanded its services beyond tape editing and editorial services to include assistant directing and editing. With the addition of four experienced assistant directors and a driven edit team, Grinta clearly positioned itself as a comprehensive partner. This move supported our growth strategy and allowed us to attract top talent in both fields—offering clients an even stronger, more complete service.

We’ve increasingly become the exclusive service partner for major players in the media industry. While we’ve long filled specific roles, we’re now more often involved as full end-to-end creators. Since 2021, we’ve been Talpa’s official partner for editing, tape operating, assistant directing, and display editing on “VI.” Around the same time, a similar collaboration was launched with Viaplay, covering editing, EVS, LED-screen operating, and large parts of the direction and editorial processes. We’re proud of these partnerships and give our all every single day to make them thrive.

At the end of 2023, Grinta Media acquired Argus Productions, instantly growing the team to over 100 professionals. This strategic move fits perfectly with our long-term vision, offering new opportunities for staff and clients alike—both in the Netherlands and abroad. It expanded our range of expertise, made us an even more reliable partner, and opened new doors for creative, high-quality services. Above all, it allows us to chase our ambitions and keep building projects we can be truly proud of.

From day one, EVS operating has been at the core of what Argus, Revision, and now Grinta Media do. Starting with the 2025/26 season, Grinta is responsible for all EVS roles, in both match production as well as ESPN’s studio broadcasts. And from the same moment—with just as much energy and enthusiasm—we will also create the match highlights for every game aired on ESPN. Together with existing services in various directing roles, this marks a strong and exciting partnership for years to come.
