Here is what some of our users have had to say:
“Most of our reviews were done with cineSync. Our vendors were in Germany, France and London. Even for the ones that are close to you sometimes it is quicker to get on a cineSync because your day is so tight that you don’t want to spend time in transport.”
— Stephane Ceretti (VFX Supervisor - X-Men: First Class)
“It was a great way for us to stay in touch and keep up with prep, as we could view the same material simultaneously, and make notes on particular frames and images. This allowed the VFX and production design teams to move forwards with their work, and not have to wait until we eventually got together in person.”
— Haris Zambarloukos (Cinematographer - Thor)
“We’re used to working with clients from who are based elsewhere and we always work with cineSync. It really is an excellent communication tool for long-distance collaboration.”
— Jacinthe Cote (Production Director (Modus FX) - Jane Eyre)
“It’s a very efficient way of working — in fact, for me it’s far more efficient than being in the same city. It’s all focused communication on exactly that show you’re working on and what’s in frame, and there’s no time wasted driving across town. It’s right there.”
— Christopher Nolan (Director - Inception)
“Our process of approvals and corrections were made almost exclusively through weekly sessions on cineSync.”
— Ara Khanikian (Compositing Manager (Rodeo FX) - Resident Evil: Afterlife)
“We made full use of cineSync, which is a tool for visual communication which enables one to write on media files that are played back in sync. Most of our creative development was done using this method of collaboration.”
— Adrian De Wet (VFX Supervisor (Double Negative VFX) - The Sorceror's Apprentice)
“It would never have happened if we didn't have the capability that we have today. I can cineSync with anybody on the planet, and work alongside him with him on a monitor.”
— Michael Owens (VFX Supervisor - Invictus)
“cineSync brought us that much closer to a finished concept and advanced the speed of our production greatly. The ability to communicate with clients and vendors efficiently and in a manner that was verbally and visually comprehensible was paramount.”
— Nancy St John (VFX Producer - The Spirit)
“This tool was key for us, enabling us to do a portion of the show remotely.”
— Graham Moloy (Associate Producer (Starz Animation) - 9)
“The visual effects on The Road simply would not be possible without the cineSync collaboration tool. cineSync is more than software, it has become a permanent verb in our vocabulary.”
— Phillip Moses (VFX Producer - The Road)
“The drawing tools in cineSync are great for me. I am a visual thinker, so I love to draw in cineSync as I discuss shot development.”
— Mark Stetson (VFX Supervisor - Superman Returns)
“For Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, we had some 1200 VFX shots amongst 9 VFX houses around the world. Using cineSync was the next best thing to being in the same room with the artists.”
— Jimmy Mitchell (VFX Supervisor - Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire)
“With 10 companies worldwide contributing VFX shots; cineSync made X-Men 3 possible.”
— John Bruno (VFX Supervisor - X-Men 3)
“Every day on Rush Hour 3, cineSync allowed me to discuss notes with artists at 17 companies in multiple cities, which would not have been possible if I had to travel to each facility. cineSync is the way to go!”
— Adam Howard (Co-VFX Supervisor - Rush Hour 3)
“cineSync has transformed the creation and management of visual effects by allowing teams around the globe to review and discuss imagery in a concurrent, consistent and efficient manner. I can't imagine making a film without cineSync anymore.”
— Boyd Shermis (Visual Effects Designer - Poseidon)
“cineSync Pro is an extremely useful tool for remote collaboration on our projects - you can show someone exactly what you're seeing, no matter where they are in the world.”
— Anne Le Bouyonnec (Ubisoft Digital Arts Producer)
“This was a typical 21st century production - we never ever sent anything physical to anybody. We did everything with cineSync sessions. I never ever had to get on a plane.”
— Bruce Woloshyn (VFX Supervisor - Uninvited)
“We used it with all the vendors - even the ones in L.A. - to communicate very quickly and go over all the different shots specifically.”
— Richard Kidd (VFX Supervisor - Twilight)
“cineSync was a life-changing concept for me.”
— Gil Keenan (Director - City of Ember)
“I used it from Hong Kong, Chicago, LA, London and Paris. Wherever we were, I was able to stay in contact with the director and the vendors. It really makes the world a much smaller place.”
— Nick Davis (VFX supervisor - The Dark Knight)
“cineSync's drawing tools along with the Pro facilities like colour grading allow everyone to get their message across in a clear and concise way. This intuitive real-time review software has become a staple part of our week, allowing us to bridge the physical divide between cutting rooms and facilities across the world.”
— Rupert Smith (VFX Co-ordinator - The Wolfman)
