Case Study: Reel FX streamlines remote animation review and brings SCOOB! to 3D with SyncSketch

Reel FX brings SCOOB! to 3D after 5 years with SyncSketch

Reel FX, a world-renowned animation studio with over 500 staff, faced the challenge of managing a remote creative review process for their work on the 3D film SCOOB!. With teams spread across Dallas, Montreal, and Hollywood, and a need to collaborate closely with a director in another location, they required a solid and quick review system that offered strong drawing capabilities for artistic feedback. They implemented the review and collaboration tool SyncSketch to address this challenge.

SyncSketch provided the solution by enabling seamless remote workflow and real-time creative collaboration. The tool allowed Animation Supervisor Bill Haller and Director Tony Cervone to conduct review sessions from different countries, draw over shots, and upload content on the fly. This streamlined the studio’s review process, proving vital for a project with a dispersed team. The implementation was so successful that Reel FX was able to transition its entire staff of 4-500 people to an effective remote setup smoothly.
