RSP Sync their claws into Wolverine

Wednesday, 06 May 2009

The new X-Men Origins: Wolverine film was shot in Sydney Australia, with visual FX carried out around the globe, including Australia's Rising Sun Pictures and Fuel VFX, UK's Cinesite and several North American facilities including Frantic, Hydraulx, Soho VFX, Tippett Studios and Luma Pictures, all cineSync users.

In an article for FX Guide, the team from Rising Sun Pictures talk about the role of cineSync in distributed post production.

"After the initial brief in LA, the team in Sydney communicated with production via regular cineSync sessions. The ability to use cineSync was vital to be able to review work-in-progress quicktimes, turntables and development and to get succinct feedback. All high speed transfers were completed using Aspera, which allowed us to send HD Quicktimes as well as DPX frames for review when required."

The latest release of cineSync Pro 2.1, which is due for release on June 1 2009, features support for individual DPX frames (as well as Cineon and EXR), plus an option for a fully integrated Aspera client, for super fast and reliable file transfers during review sessions.

The beta version available now from sales@cinesync.com is already changing the way people review large files. To experience the best in remote review and file transfer technology for yourself, just contact Product Manager Rory McGregor.
