CREATIVE COW MAGAZINE: WORKFLOW 3.0
The word "workflow" has been abused for so long that it's easy to forget how important it really is... It's not a product feature.It's a combination of planning, discipline and creativity, achieved by perseverance, mastery of technology, and, if necessary, brute force, to get from one end of your job to the other. To redeem its abuse elsewhere, we have some especially gleaming examples of the proper use of the word "workflow" here.
South Park: TV's Longest Week Each episode of the Emmy Award-winning animated show is created, start to finish in 6 days, delivered with as little as 90 minutes before air. Here's a look at the people and technology that make it possible.
Metadata Through the Eye of the Lens A VFX cinematographer for films including "Quantum of Solace," Dave Stump also chairs the American Society of Cinematographers subcommittees for Cameras and Metadata -- and has unique insights on how the two are merging.
One team. Three Shows. Every week. FCP workflow pioneers Digital Film Tree (Cold Mountain, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, The Forbidden Kingdom) found themselves posting 3 network shows every week: Weeds, Everybody Hates Chris, and Scrubs. And they're doing it with the same team of 9 that used to post ONE show.
Fix it in "Pre." You might hope to fix problems in post...but the only way to make sure that you have everything you need is to start with careful pre-production. Read how one team balanced project design and storytelling while staring down the barrel of nearly impossible deadlines.
And... a round-up of Cows at work around the world and industry news. Download the latest issue here...
