Digital Media Company Streamlining Production Workflow
Company Situation
This company operates within the digital media production industry, focusing on high-volume scripted content creation. Their operation involves a substantial team of approximately 100 production crew members and around 50 post-production personnel. The production team works onsite at dedicated studio spaces, while the post-production team is largely remote and globally distributed. Their workflow is fast-paced, producing up to 30 minutes of scripted fiction content daily, with weekly script volumes reaching upwards of 235 pages.
Existing Workflow
The company runs a highly intensive production schedule, with multiple crews shooting seven days a week in large studio facilities. Post-production includes editing, VFX, sound design, mixing, and composition, managed by a sizable global team. Finished content turnaround from the last day of shooting to final delivery is approximately 2.5 days, underscoring the need for efficient collaboration and rapid asset handling across distributed teams.
Issues with the Existing Workflow
The extreme pace of production and turnaround places significant pressure on teams, leading to burnout and unsustainable workflows.
Post-production is spread across multiple locations, which complicates file sharing, version control, and coordination.
Managing massive volumes of media assets and large file transfers creates bottlenecks and risks delays.
The company seeks a more sustainable and scalable solution to maintain quality while managing workload.
