Introducing the new Media Project Management Service - Cerebro
Already in 2005, when our team worked at Cinemateka , on the Turkish Gambit directed by Janik Fayziev, the need for a special management system became apparent to us.
The first experimental rabbit was a regular forum (before it the truth was still a wiki) with advanced options for appointing a responsible employee and controlling / planning the timing of tasks.
This was followed by the projects "Mongol" directed by Sergei Bodrov Sr. and "1612" Vladimir Khotinenko. Six months of work in the new system revealed the need to significantly simplify working with files in comparison with FTP-exchange, as well as creating the ability for users to give audio and visual comments on all types of files involved in the work process, from a video to a regular office document. It should have been tormented by FTP-exchanges and Photoshop-commentary users someday breathe a sigh of relief :)

So, the concept of the necessary system was gradually formed. The team, represented by project manager Konstantin Kharitonov, chief programmer and architect Vladimir Barzionov, programmers Artyom Verbitsky (desktop client Cerebro) and Dmitry Samoilov (Mirada module) under the supervision of technical manager Ivan Ivanchik, is starting to develop Cerebro - an integrated project planning and management system. the fathers of the Cerebro system were films, "Europe-Asia" directed by Ivan Dykhovichny and "Indigo" Roman Prygunov.
In Spanish, Cerebro (pronounced correctly as Cerebro) is thecentral nervous systembrain. Supporting the life of the project, the developed software package performs the most important functions: resource management, ensuring the operational interaction of participants and the ability to quickly transfer files of any size. So, thanks to the built-in Mirada module (Spanish - look), the user can use an image viewer that supports an extensive set of formats. It is a player of video files and audio recordings, and also contains a set of reviewing tools that provides a unique opportunity, for example, to draw with a brush on top of video files, create text and voice tags with reference to the image, visually mark comments on a single frame of a video, etc. Cerebro reviews are published automatically.

So, the main advantages of Cerebro:
• Creation and maintenance of the project structure of any complexity
• Comfortable work with remote access via the Internet
• Fast initial project budgeting, project accounting
• Well-thought-out user roles: client, person in the company, supervisor, producer administrator
• Special system of visual image commenting, office documents and videos with drawing capabilities on top of the content, as well as voice recording and all actions commentator
• Highly Secure spine system: user authentication, fine-tune levels of access to specific elements of the project, etc.
• Detailed statistics on users of the system, detailed statistics on the project
• Own decentralized file sharing system, with support for automatic downloading of content, built-in archiving
• Automatic creation of tabnayl for all types of files
Today, Cerebro is mainly used by companies to manage visual projects effects and 3D animation. The constant growing number of users gives reason to believe that in the near future I will use the system in the development of video games, production of advertising, Web and architectural design, etc. By the way, soon on our website, anyone can buy it with their credit card.
In early 2009, after a successful implementation within the Cinemateka company, a decision was made to separate the Cerebro development team into an independent project.
The Cerebro system is used on the Book of Masters film project, the first Russian film commissioned by Disney (Walt Disney Company CIS). The visual effects work was supervised entirely by Cinemateka at Cerebro. A-VFX Midday also participated in the project.
Major projects such as Black Lightning by producer Timur Bekmambetov, supervised by Bazelevs Productions, Long Road Home by SKA Petersburg (full-length version of well-known Smesharikov), animated film Squirrel and Arrow by TsNF Anima, are also being prepared. .
Visit our website and blog for more information.cerebrohq.com/en ,right there in a few days you can try the free 30-day demo version!
And by the way, in the near future there will be a web version of Cerebro and a client application for the iPhone , both with the ability to work off-line.
Chat with us in the near future it will be possible at the exhibitions "Igromir" (from November 5-8, the 57th pavilion of VVC stand-D6 D2), "NATEXPO" (17-20 November at the 75th pavilion of VVC stand A25) and " CG Event ” (December 12-13 at the World Trade Center stand near the wall :)).
We will be extremely grateful for feedback on the service and try to answer any questions with pleasure :)

PS: Yes, we know that now our site is “crooked", in December we will replace it :)
