SPIN PRODUCTIONS CORPORATION

$598,200.00

Service oriented pipeline upgrade phase 1

FY 2022-23 · 2022-05-02

Summary
This Pipeline Upgrade is designed to modernize our production pipeline and increase our capacity to meet rapidly growing demand for VFX content. Through leveraging cloud workflows we will be able to meet our primary goal; to increase capacity. One of the most practical solutions is to hire talented artists from across Canada and worldwide to work remotely. We need to easily provide them with virtual workstations, cloud storage and network connectivity in a cloud region that is geographically close enough for them to overcome the network latency that is inherent in connections over long distances. In addition we need them to be able to seamlessly use our production software and custom too whilst maintaining MPAA security requirements.

Description (French)
Cette mise à niveau du pipeline est conçue pour moderniser notre pipeline de production et augmenter notre capacité à répondre à la demande en croissance rapide de contenu d’effets visuels. En tirant parti des flux de travail infonuagiques, nous serons en mesure d'atteindre notre objectif principal : augmenter notre capacité. L'une des solutions les plus pratiques consiste à embaucher des artistes talentueux de partout au Canada et dans le monde pour travailler à distance. Nous devons leur fournir facilement des postes de travail virtuels, un stockage infonuagique et une connectivité réseau dans une région suffisamment proche géographiquement pour qu'ils puissent surmonter la latence du réseau inhérente aux connexions sur de longues distances. En outre, nous avons besoin qu'ils soient en mesure d'utiliser de manière transparente notre logiciel de production et notre logiciel personnalisé tout en respectant les exigences de sécurité de la MPAA.
