LOS ANGELES – Shotgun Software (www.shotgunsoftware.com) teamed up with Australia’s Rising Sun Research (www.risingsunresearch.com) to integrate their VFX, animation and digital production workflow solutions.
Shotgun is a Web-based project management and collaboration system. Rising Sun Research’s CineSync is a remote review and approval tool that enables synchronized viewing and annotation of content across the Web. Together, artists can initiate CineSync review sessions based on Shotgun playlists, and automatically publish notes and drawings from CineSync back into Shotgun.
“
By having Shotgun and CineSync work together, end users can optimize workflows, minimize errors, and improve collaboration and communication across facilities and teams regardless of their geographical location,” explains CineSync product manager Rory McGregor.
Don Parker, co-founder/CEO of Shotgun Software, adds: “This integration helps our clients create and update review sessions quickly, and then later publish annotated frames from CineSync directly to the creative team via Shotgun where they are tracked for future reference.”
Specifically, the integration allows for the initiating and updating of CineSync sessions quickly from within the Shotgun interface. Users can publishing review session notes and frame annotations from CineSync into Shotgun with just one click. CineSync session files can be stored with the Shotgun playlists for future review. And CineSync can be launched from Shotgun with a single click.
