Research and development of an Assets Management Application for 2D Film Production

对新内容的日益增长的需求要求制片厂在快速制作和发行动画电影的能力方面进行发展和创新。目前市场上可用的软件提供自动动画流水线，但对于中小型企业来说，它们很昂贵，需要适当的实施和管理才能运行。这些软件通常不能很好地定制，以满足工作室的独特要求和工作流程。为了满足客户新颖多样的产品需求，减少制作时间和相关成本，OFC是多伦多一家领先的影视制作初创公司，提供包括内容开发、前期制作和后期制作在内的电影制作服务。旨在通过自动化一些繁琐的任务来改善其生产流水线。为了实现这些目标，OFC将与WIMTACH合作开发一个独立的应用程序，该应用程序将自动执行部分电影制作任务(收集和组织资产并将其分配用于制作)，并将集成到该公司的行业标准跟踪软件中。WITMACH作为一家技术获取和创新中心，与不同的行业客户进行了多年的成功和持续的合作，具备了开发满足企业特定业务需求的最先进技术解决方案的能力。 该项目的最终结果将提高OFC的效率，使员工能够更专注于提高动画电影的质量。员工的技能和能力将通过利用节省的成本进行培训来增强。由于企业生产工作流程的其他领域有所改进，还将提供升级独立应用程序的机会。这一应用将为OFC创造收入并打开新的市场。该公司将通过许可在市场上提供该应用程序。

The increasing demand for new contents necessitates developments and innovations in the studios' ability to rapidly produce and distribute animated films. The currently available software in the market offer automated animation pipelines, but they are expensive for small to medium enterprises and they require proper implementation and management to run. These software are often not much customizable to meet studio's unique requirements and workflow. To meet the novel and diverse product demands of the clients and to reduce the production time and associated costs, Outrageous Film Company (OFC), a leading Toronto-based film and television production startup-company that provides film production services including developing content, pre-production, and post-production services. aims to improve its production pipeline by automating some of the tedious tasks. To achieve these goals, OFC will collaborate with WIMTACH to develop a stand-alone application that automates part of the film production tasks (collecting and organizing assets and allocating them for production) and it will be integrated into the company's industry-standard tracking software. WITMACH, as a technology access and innovation center, with several years of successful and continued collaborations with diverse industry clients, is equipped to develop state-of-the-art technology solutions that address enterprise-specific business needs. The net result of this project will increase efficiencies at OFC and enable employees to focus more on improving the quality of the animated film. Employee skills and competencies will be enhanced through training using the cost savings. It will also provide the opportunity to upgrade the stand-alone application as a result of improvements in other areas of the enterprise production workflow. This application will generate revenues and open new market for OFC. Company will make the application available in the market through licensing.
