L7 Pictures is our virtual studio, with teleconference meeting rooms, cloud based data storage, and an ftp pipeline, and free production tracking software.
Presently we're 10 people. At our largest we were 50, but as is the case with a production with zero budget, people move in and out of the project like water.
But now that we've got a modest budget, and we're ramping back up to complete a trailer with our Indiegogo funds. In preparation for this, we've been looking into L7 upgrades.
Enter Java wiz kid, Benjamin Berg. For the past several months Benjamin has been constructing a VPS Linux-based infrastructure for L7 that will track our production assets and personnel, integrate our proprietary alembic bakery and cloud based rendering, and much much more.
As the gateway to our production pipeline, Benjamin's interface will facilitate collaboration between artists from around the world, taking our projects from storyboard to finished product. The brave new world of independent animation is underway at L7!
