Case Study: UPPERFIRST achieves one-day turnaround and streamlined video feedback with Hightail Spaces

Why UPPERFIRST says hallelujah to Hightail

UPPERFIRST is a small Swedish video production and motion‑graphics studio founded to raise the quality and global relevance of Swedish film work. Focused on story-first filmmaking and a flexible mix of motion design, 3D and live action, the team found client feedback and review processes were slow and administratively heavy—sending files, hunting through emails and asking clients to “scroll to this second” wasted time and hindered creativity.

They adopted Hightail Spaces to share assets, enable frame‑specific comments, and secure projects with access codes and custom branding. Spaces centralized feedback, sped uploads and conversions, and cut a previously four‑day review cycle down to one day. The studio now uses Hightail on almost every project, finding it easier and more cost‑effective than other collaboration tools.
