FTP Alternative

In the accelerated file transfer world, it’s likely we’ve witnessed this phenomenon more than most technologies. Because for file transfer, the “old way” goes back 45 years to the creation of FTP.

One of our Media Shuttle power users, Michael Ball of Accord Productions, appeared in an interview with RedShark News. In the video, he makes the case that technologies like Media Shuttle allow smaller production companies to act and work much larger than they are.

Then sometimes, the worst would happen and the masterpiece we had just labored over for a month had gone missing.

We were happy to have the chance to interview the Guardian’s Head of Applications, Matt Whiting, about their use of Signiant technology.

Because VR requires multiple camera angles on the same shot, data off the cameras are astronomical already. But that’s not the whole picture.

Yesterday marked the start of this year’s NFL Draft, and many of the teams involved are using our technology to send large video files for broadcasting on stations around the country.

Abrams and crew needed a local and extensive production infrastructure, and twofour54 Film & TV Services was there to pick up the opportunity.
