Reviews from the Riverbank
Thursday, 10 January 2008
Prime Focus London and their Indian sister offices were required to do extensive VFX work for the new feature film Tales of the Riverbank, based on the children's television series of the same name. As the production was based in the UK, Prime Focus relied on cineSync to maintain an accurate communication pipeline throughout the post production process.
From the article:
"Key to all of this was we sent one of our lead Flame artist Ben Murray over there to do VFX supervision of the India work, so when we had issues with particularly complicated shots we’d sit down remotely with cineSync using Skype and chat about particular shots, drawing on the picture so that each of us knew what we were going for and then he could sit down directly with the artists and implement the direction that I’d given him. So that eliminated a lot of the potential communication issues, which had cropped up in the past when I’d talk to a producer in India where they would understand the basics of what I’m going for but the subtle nuances sometimes can take a long time to explain. So having Ben there to implement and oversee the changes helped a lot."
