What would you say your specialty is as a digital artist?
My specialty would be a dual role as storyboard artist and production manager
here at Hinge. I’ve been very lucky to have such a hybrid role, where I can start
a project as an artist and develop a vision for our clients, all the while managing
our team and pipeline. I get to be involved in absolutely everything.
How important is remote collaboration to your pipeline?
Remote collaboration is extremely important to our studio’s pipeline.
Hinge works with so many clients and fellow artists spread out all over
the US. Our studio has to be accessible in order to be successful here in
Portland, Oregon. Hinge also thrives through our ability to present our
work in a collaborative setting regardless of location. Clients and artists
need to be able to voice their feedback and thoughts with user friendly
collaboration tools – like Frankie.
On what project did you start using video review tools?
This one is tough. We have used Frankie for so long and on
so many projects. We started with cineSync, but moved to
Frankie in 2013. We moved over to Frankie because it offered
the power of cineSync with the ease of use of a web based
interface. Frankie’s user friendliness is particularly important
for our collaboration with a wide range of clients. They love
Frankie! I believe our earliest projects with Frankie were with
Adidas and Microsoft.
