Sohonet, Moxion to Provide Remote Review Options for Production, Post, VFX (MESA)
Story Highlights
Connectivity and data management services specialist Sohonet has announced a new partnership with dailies platform company Moxion to broaden the remote collaboration solutions Sohonet can offer to production, post and visual effects players.
The new partnership has the companies designing a new set of tools for those players that enables both synchronous and asynchronous remote review, with Sohonet ClearView Flex tackling review discussions dependent on real-time iteration and response, and Moxion Immediates providing an equivalent experience for offline review.
“Moxion is a great match for Sohonet, they understand the unique challenges that productions face, and share our vision: to revolutionize the way storytellers create content by making collaboration seamless and more secure,” said Sohonet CEO Chuck Parker. “While real-time review is a key component to the production workflow, often the whole team can’t meet for a live review session. Partnering with Moxion gives our customers space to review content in their own time.
“Right now productions are having to navigate a new normal due to COVID-19, with reduced numbers on-set, additional location challenges and more distributed team members. Sohonet and Moxion are perfectly placed to help support them from green-light to wrap.”
Moxion’s Immediates offers a platform to review footage in HDR shortly after filming on the same devices as ClearView Flex (Apple TV, iPads and laptop), where on-set creatives can begin mark-ups immediately and give those off-set the same near-real-time access. Editorial and VFX teams can download the high-resolution proxy to begin working, instead of having to wait hours later after a transcoded dailies workflow.
“Offering Sohonet’s real-time tool, Clearview Flex, with our offline review technology makes perfect sense,” said Moxion CEO Hugh Calveley. “The ability to harness the power of live review and incorporate it, with the convenience of offline collaboration, will be an extremely valuable toolkit for filmmakers.”
