Stephen Chiu, Business Development Executive at Shotgun Software gives us an insight into the workings and applications of this robust production tracking and collaboration system designed specifically for the movie industry.

The Shotgun Story

Watch a quick tour of Shotgun in action

We are industry folk who love production. A handful of us met while building pipeline tools for a 3D feature film for Disney called The Wild. When the show was completed, we decided to start over, focusing specifically on what people call "production tracking". Although this is only one piece of the pipeline pie, we believe this piece deserves to be done right because it supports and enables the studio's biggest investment: People.

But our take on production tracking is different than most. We believe that for a system to really work in such a dynamic environment, it has to be used, and relied upon, by everyone in the studio. And because everyone relies on the system to do their work and communicate with each other every day, the information stays up to date. It is updated by many, not a few. It's a collaboration tool, not just a tracking tool.
