FATface is a boutique VFX and animation studio based in Hong Kong. For more than a decade, FATface’s team of 40 artists has serviced both commercial and film projects and earned a strong reputation in Hong Kong’s competitive marketplace. As the company has expanded to tackle larger and more complex projects, FATface began looking for a flexible production management tool that would be easy to implement and integrate with their existing structure, provide value to users at all levels, and easily scale along with the company. After exploring several off-the-shelf solutions and collecting suggestions from colleagues, FATface decided to standardize on Shotgun.
The FATface team first had the chance to break Shotgun in on its recent production of sci-fi short film VIRTUS, a fully photoreal CG project where robots engage in intense battles. VFX Supervisor Alan Lam explained, “”We only had a limited timeframe to complete VIRTUS, and Shotgun helped us organize a massive amount of data and assets. Since everyone on the production team can input into and access Shotgun, it saved us time and resources on data sharing between departments, and eliminated communication errors. Having Shotgun in place let us focus on the art and not worry about tracking our data.””
Lam continued, “Shotgun gives me a bridge to communicate with my producers and artists efficiently. It shows the progress of projects clearly and centralizes all updates. I can review and leave comments, and know that they’re being communicated directly to the artists. It just makes my day easier.””
