Case Study: Luma Pictures achieves streamlined VFX pipeline automation with ftrack

Luma Pictures automates workflows and 150-shot production with ftrack

Luma Pictures, a visual effects studio, faced challenges in managing complex communication and repetitive tasks across its global teams within its VFX pipeline. To address this, the studio leveraged ftrack's APIs to build a more integrated and automated project tracking and workflow solution.

Using ftrack's APIs, Luma Pictures developed its custom LumaCoord Tools automation engine. This solution automated communication, meeting scheduling, and pipeline processes, feeding data directly back into ftrack. The results included significantly increased efficiency, allowing a single artist to manage up to 150 shots, and the delivery of award-winning VFX work. The ftrack integration provided a major efficiency gain, removing repetitive tasks and enabling the boutique studio to produce high-end visual effects comparable to larger competitors.
