There’s no need to study Excel reports to get an overview of your project: all metrics are available in real time, whether you use our standard KPIs or create your own custom indicators. Any criteria can be taken into account to assess the progress of the project as a whole or by user. And if you do need those Excel reports, just export any statistics to a file.
CLIENT REVIEWS
It’s rather difficult to overestimate the role of Cerebro in the working process of our studio.The time that supervisors used to spend working with employees has drastically decreased, whereas the effectiveness of their communication has grown, we’re making a lot less corrections in the computer graphics than usual, general work efficiency has also grown, and so has our image in the eyes of clients. The day of each of our employees starts with loading Cerebro, as it is the quickest and most effective way to find out what’s going on in the studio. Cerebro stands out amongst other program products as is an irreplaceable helper of any small or large studio.
Personally, I never close Cerebro at all. One of out past sales directors taught us to never shut down the computer — so we never close our e-mail clients and never shut down computers. To this mantra I’ve added ‘never close Cerebro’. We do everything in Cerebro – assign tasks to employees, pass files over to the client, discuss details with them, use it as an IM. Some clients even refuse to discuss anything unless it’s by phone or in Cerebro. And since you can’t always spend half an hour talking on the phone, it’s easier to just message them with what we’ve done and how. We send them mockups, JPG and PSD files, documents — everything.
Cerebro was a great asset when it came to keeping project on track. During the entire three months of production, we worked with our Moscow team and a team in the UK to generate 3-D assets, live shootings with green screen, and take aerial helicopter footage. The challenge was to keep the entire production organized and make sure that all tasks were assigned to the correct people. Cerebro really helped us greatly because we were able to assign tasks, put things on a time line, visually see progress, were able to immediately access production files and provide real-time feedback with effective communication.
We used Cerebro to manage the project as there was no other way to cope with such a flow of information, on-set materials and files flying to and from.
We use Cerebro in ScreamSchool for uploading and watching the media files that are made during our course. Our teachers have the opportunity to prepare them in advance, and our students are able to log on to our server, play through all the necessary materials, upload their own work and immediately let their teacher know that everything is ready. This is a maximum of interactivity. To be honest, I’ve never seen anything like this anywhere. Even on SIGGRAPH and other exhibitions decisions were made during video-conferences, but not due to such a two-way interactive process. Emphasizing the opportunity of remote education and keeping interactive is our know-how in a sense.
I would like to thank the Cerebro team for the exclusive management solution that made it all possible! It was great to be updated on the regular basis and watching the growing progress bar is a real pleasure. Cerebro allowed us not only to keep all the information on each CG shot at one place, but also to make proper decisions in any situation throughout the project.
Cerebro is integration-ready out-of-the-box, without a single line of code. Our proprietary plugins enable you to work on any task directly from your production software package.
Any additional features you may need can be easily added using Cerebro’s client and server APIs.
