Hi all,

I'm about to make a (free) beta version of my new software,
"Synaesthesia" available for people in the film/TV industry to provide
feedback.

The software is used to track data across the lifetime of a
production, from storyboard to shooting, to editing, to final grade. It integrates with Red (atm, only provided you have redline installed).
Right now, it's fairly basic (it's not production-ready), in order to
best work out what will suit people's needs.

If this is the sort of thing that sounds interesting and you'd like to
try out, you can read more at:
http://synaesthesia.surrealroad.com/features and sign up for
invitations at: http://synaesthesia.surrealroad.com/beta

Please feel free to forward this message on to anyone who might be interested.

No immediate plans to integrate, but if it's something a lot of people would want, then definitely.

I wouldn't say that it's in competition with shotgun-- their system seems to be aimed at post houses doing more CG stuff, whereas this is more suited for installing on a laptop and taking it on a shoot.
 
What will be the approximate price point of the software when it is released?
 
This software looks great Jack. I signed up! Eager to beta test!

I would love to sign up, but it's currently Mac only? We have Macs, PCs (Scratch, AE, Nuke), & Linux (Flame) that need assets tracked, seems not possible to use in a mixed environment right now. If I'm wrong, I'd love to try it.

Shotgun is amazing. The meta-data of EVERY SINGLE R3D that moves through OFFHOLLYWOOD lives in Shotgun.

I'm experimenting with the implementation at the moment. The main problem is due to differences in the schema. Shotgun is very flexible about how different entities link together, whereas Synaesthesia is a lot more rigid.

For instance, in Synaesthesia, a shot links to a scene. However in shotgun, unless you change several preferences, there is no concept of a scene, and they just link to a "sequence" (which in turn btw means something completely different in Synaesthesia). So once I've figured out how best to map the two, synchronisation between them will be possible.

Synaesthesia doesn't necessarily need direct access to the assets themselves in order to be useful (although if everything is accessible on your mac via networks, that won't hurt).

Have a look at the getting started guide for an overview of what it can do and see whether it can fit into your pipeline.
