C&I adopta flujos colaborativos cloud con Blackmagic

The platform Blackmagic Cloud and the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini network storage device allowed C&I Studios Establish a remote workflow for short film post-production From DC, I Love You with DaVinci Resolve Studio.

Produced by C&I Films, una subsidiaria de C&I Studios, la serie antológica de películas To the Cities that I Love It's about relationships and the way they end. The editing, grading and sound mixing of the last installment, titled From DC, I Love You, were carried out in Los Angeles, while the audiovisual material was managed in New York.

C&I Studios trusted the platform Blackmagic Cloud to host the project library on the project server of DaVinci Resolve, which allowed each team will work simultaneously in the same timeline, just as it tells Joshua Miller, fundador y director ejecutivo de C&I Studios: “Con DaVinci Resolve Studio 18, todos pudimos colaborar en la misma línea de tiempo mediante la plataforma Blackmagic Cloud. Gracias a Blackmagic Cloud, no tuvimos que estar mandando y recibiendo archivos de proyecto de DaVinci Resolve. Todo el material grabado se subía al servidor y luego se sincronizaba mediante dispositivos Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini instalados en cada estudio, a fin de que cualquier persona pudiera trabajar en el proyecto simultáneamente con otras. Fue algo maravilloso”. Miller también ha desvelado que C&I se ha beneficiado de la velocidad del programa Blackmagic Proxy Generator y su capacidad de procesar el material en formato RAW, gracias al cual “trabajamos sin inconveniente alguno”.

When installing a drive Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini en Los Ángeles y otra en Nueva York para cada equipo, Miller y el equipo de C&I Studios pudieron synchronize and share audiovisual material during post-production: "This turned out to be extremely important to us. Our network was already capable of reaching speeds of 10 Gb/s, so by having the ability to transfer material directly from the server to the Cloud Store Mini units, we were able to develop a process that was ideal for our workflow. We kept our daily production report in the cloud and could collaborate simultaneously on the project. Someone did the color while someone else edited, so post-production was carried out more quickly and efficiently."

A new paradigm

Additionally, Miller noted that before Blackmagic Cloud existed, it constantly had to be sending the report to the next team member in charge of continuing the work: "It was difficult, because you had to make sure you were working on the latest version that had been sent to you. With Blackmagic Cloud, it is no longer necessary to do things in parts or worry about verifying that the version is correct. This platform completely changed our work dynamic."

Miller, in short, is completely satisfied with the new possibilities that remote workflows Blackmagic they contribute to their daily operations: “Ahora, varias personas pueden trabajar en el mismo proyecto desde cualquier sitio. Como empresa internacional, eso es fundamental para nuestro éxito. Lo que más me gusta de Blackmagic es que siempre están innovando y pensando en lo que vendrá. C&I Studios se encuentra en constante evolución, y es extraordinario sentirnos respaldados por otra empresa que mira al futuro y se esfuerza por brindar productos de la mejor calidad”.
