Awesome Inc. Animation Studio: Creating a Cutting-Edge Creative Space

Client
Awesome Inc. Animation Studio
Location
Atlanta, Georgia

Project Scope

Awesome Inc., an award-winning animation company, has been one of our long-term clients for over a decade. The studio needed a comprehensive technology upgrade to support their expanding creative operations. As part of a major renovation project in 2017-2018, We overhauled their entire office with a shared media storage system and a robust networking infrastructure, streamlining workflows and ensuring seamless data access. Additionally, we provide ongoing on-site technical support to keep their systems running smoothly, allowing the studio to stay focused on what they do best: creating world-class animation.

Project Highlights

The Challenge

Awesome had outgrown its existing technology setup, which hindered its ability to collaborate and produce content efficiently. Their challenges included:

  1. Network Capable of Remote Animators: With the rise in remote work, the challenge was to build a network that could seamlessly connect both on-site and off-site animators. This required a flexible and scalable infrastructure capable of handling varying workloads, while providing secure, reliable access to company resources from any location, ensuring smooth collaboration and uninterrupted workflow for all team members, wherever they are.
  2. IT Infrastructure for Creative Workflows: The studio’s production process required a robust networking infrastructure to support the large amounts of data transferred between workstations and servers, making it critical that their network was fast and reliable.
  3. Ongoing Technical Support: Given the complexity of their operations, the studio required consistent, on-site technical support to handle system maintenance, troubleshooting, and upgrades, ensuring minimal downtime.

Solutions Overview

We worked closely with Awesome to design and implement a comprehensive networking infrastructure that supports their unique creative workflows and long-term business goals.

Key Deliverables:

  • Advanced Conference Room Installation: We outfitted their conference room with a fully integrated AV system, including a large HD TV and a state-of-the-art conferencing setup. This ensures smooth presentations and efficient collaboration, whether reviewing animation sequences or conducting client meetings. Additionally, we designed their editing suites with high-quality displays and premium sound systems, optimized for the precision required in post-production work.
  • Low-Voltage Networking Infrastructure: We installed all low-voltage cabling throughout the studio to support their workstations, servers, and production systems. The new infrastructure allows for fast, reliable data transfers across their network, which is critical for handling large animation files.
  • Ongoing On-Site Technical Support: To ensure their systems remain in top condition, we provide weekly on-site technical support. This includes managing their servers, resolving any AV or IT issues, and performing routine maintenance to prevent downtime. Our proactive approach ensures that the studio’s operations run smoothly without disruptions.

Results:

Our technology solutions have transformed Awesome Inc. into a highly efficient and collaborative workspace:

  • Optimized Collaboration and Workflow: The new AV system in their conference room and edit suites has streamlined communication across teams. The studio can now easily present and review content, both internally and with clients, improving productivity and accelerating project timelines.
  • Improved Production Capabilities: With the new low-voltage network in place, the studio’s creative workflows have become more efficient. Large animation files are transferred seamlessly between workstations, reducing lag and ensuring projects are completed faster.
  • Minimal Downtime: Thanks to our ongoing on-site technical support, Awesome Animation Studio experiences minimal downtime. Any issues are quickly resolved, and proactive maintenance ensures their systems are always running at peak performance, allowing the team to stay focused on producing top-tier animation.

By upgrading their AV and IT systems, we’ve helped Awesome Inc. Animation Studio operate more efficiently and scale their operations as they continue to grow.
