cineSync assists Warner Bros' German Invasion

Wednesday, 22 August 2007

When VFX Supervisor Boyd Shermis (Poseidon, Gone in 60 Seconds) needed to set up robust communication between facilities in the US and Germany for the visual effects work on The Invasion, he again used cineSync - having used it succesfully for Poseidon 2 years earlier.

From the article:

"During the time of production, Scanline's Los Angeles office had not yet been opened. Working from Germany, Plantec and Shermis did all of the shot reviews via Skype and cineSync.

"In reviewing the images sent, Plantec explains, "The best part was when Boyd circled a section and said it looked a little jagged. I agreed. Then when we went back to fix it -- it turned out to be the real flame that looked odd in that area. It's always great when the client can't t tell where the plate ends and CG begins, but it's really amazing when we can't see it on our own stuff."
