The Challenge
Postproduction workflows are depending on many different factors – availability of resources, freelancers, equipment, client feedback etc.
Over years we were forced to use multiple tools to get all those requirements done. Different calendars, several to do lists, a booking software, excel grids and many more.
The downside of all this is obvious – multiple disconnect tools lead to difficulties in workflows, misunderstandings and mistakes. This makes collaboration very difficult.
Moreover film-postproduction is very dynamic. Changes in materials, timing and requested deliveries happen all the time. This can be a nightmare when using multiple tools.
The Solution
We needed ONE tool to steer all processes and enable smooth collaboration…. and we found it in Cirkus.
We started using it early in October 2019, thus we could learn the tool from scratch. Everything connected, every task transparent, every change visible, we received not only a tool but a full toolbox!
Now it is possible to have a clear overview about tasks, availabilities and project workflows at any time. Usage is intuitive and so easy. No more internal emails, no more lost paper notes, everything is organised now.
The possibilities grow every day.
