Edison & Leo
I worked as Technical Support and Data Wrangler on the Feature Film Edison and Leo. The system was an 11TB Xsan with 14 MacPro Towers set up as animation stations. I controlled the systems via Remote Desktop. This allowed me to support the animators without walking through and disrupting the sets while they were working.
There was an Avid Media Composer Edit station which I connected to the Xsan with a fiber card to speed up the process of bringing completed shots immediately into the edit. Once the shots were cut into the existing animatic, animators could see how their shots were working. This speed up the process and allowed the animators to shoot less overlap as well as get almost instant feedback on their shots. The video clip above demonstrates this.
