Sending a client a review link used to take us 30 seconds for EVERY LINK.
Now it takes one.
Every film we deliver lives in Vimeo. Logging in, finding the folder, opening the video, finding the review link, copying it.
None of it is hard. All of it takes time, and it's boring.
So we built our own video manager. It connects to our Vimeo account and shows what's new, what's changed, which version things are on and where client comments are coming in.
Review links copy in one click. Replacing two videos with new versions takes about four, and it checks the version names first, so the wrong file never goes out.
The bigger question for me is what this means. If a studio like ours can build the system it needs, what else should we be building? It's an exciting time, and a little scary. I think it's important that we're the ones testing it.
The film walks through the old way and the new one.
