Company will Demonstrate StudioCAP—Cloud-based Production and Asset Management System—Speeding Animation Production and Lowering IT Costs
VANCOUVER, B.C—September 6th 2011—
Thinware Media Ltd (Thinware), an established animation industry leader based in Vancouver, B.C., today announced it will attend the
Ottawa International Animation Festival (OIAF) (September 21st—25th) and showcase
StudioCAP (CAP=Computer Aided Production), a completely new workflow automation and asset management solution for animation studios. Available now, StudioCAP is a cloud-based production and asset management system that enables studios to more efficiently store, track, and move 2D and 3D CGI (computer generated image) assets through the creation process without having to install and manage a costly IT infrastructure to do so. During OIAF, visit Thinware Media for a StudioCAP demonstration in the Animarket Trade Fair, Ottawa National Gallery of Canada, at the
TVPaint table (table F). The StudioCAP process was developed in a real-world production environment by Mark Rocchio, CEO of Thinware Media, while creating thousands of hours of high-quality animation projects. StudioCAP eliminates and/or automates many expensive and time consuming manual processes, improves control of digital assets, and features built-in project planning and budgeting. Combining asset management with a number of project management and communication features, StudioCAP moves assets more efficiently through the creative process. Studios can assign user roles and staffing levels, send messages about asset status, set tasks, automate tasks such as rendering, and define milestones, timelines and deliverables. “We’re excited to attend the OIAF and share with attending animators and artists how StudioCAP can accelerate and simplify the creative process better than just about any other project or asset management system on the market,” said Mark Rocchio, CEO of Thinware Media. “Most asset management systems are either too complicated, too lacking in features, or require some sort of costly infrastructure set-up. StudioCAP addresses all of those issues with a feature-rich system that is flexible, simple to set up and use, and more competitively priced to operate than other asset management products available now,” added Rocchio.
