Halon Entertainment Makes Smooth Transition to Shotgrid

Customer challenge

Halon Entertainment is a full service-visualization company committed to advancing the art of storytelling, supported by a technology team that provides a state-of-the-art platform of cutting-edge technology, to help their clients realize their creative vision on screen. At times however keeping track of the changes within a specific vendor’s software workflow is a challenge, and they need to have a reliable partner to reach out to for help. Transitioning from Autodesk Shotgun to Autodesk Shotgrid was just such a case.

Project goals

As a large firm that works on a wide range of film & TV projects, Halon has many teams spread across multiple departments, using Autodesk Shotgun. Migrating and transitioning all of their sites to Autodesk Shotgrid was a necessary task but something they were not familiar with. To resolve this, Halon turned to the experts at Motion Media to help with a smooth transition.

Solution

Due to the pending transition to Autodesk Shotgrid, Halon faced some technical and deployment challenges. Motion Media was able to transition Halon's sites to Autodesk Shotgrid with minimal interruption, allowing Halon to meet their business needs and deadlines. Motion Media helped guide Halon's team through the process with both software advice, pipeline recommendations, and support.

Business outcome

Halon Entertainment was able to transition smoothly without interruption successfully. There was no disruption to their workflow and production was able to continue as planned with no hiccups. Multiple deadlines were met due to the quick migration to Autodesk Shotgrid and the capabilities of the software.

Conclusion

Halon saved significant time and costs by relying on Motion Media to provide the guidance necessary for a successful migration. They are now able to easily increase their Autodesk Shotgrid user base, all but ensuring they continue to meet their client's demanding needs.
