We worked with a thriving media-tech startup from Hollywood on developing a transformative solution with exciting features such as automatic cut detection, video timeline optimization, canvas manipulation, and character animations, that helps filmmakers achieve blockbuster-level visual effects on a budget.

The Problem

Our client was facing a few bottlenecks and dev resource shortages, just when they were getting ready for a big beta release and marketing campaign launch.

Which is why we stepped in and provided technical experts to help in both frontend and backend from our well-established community, which usually delivers better results in a shorter period of time, compared to the traditional hiring methods.

The Process

Our team seamlessly integrated with the client’s workforce, adopting a hybrid model that combined core team expertise with the strategic addition of our specialized resources.
Tech Stack Used:
React TypeScript .NET Core Python AWS Canvas Jotai Zod Tailwind Autho
The onboarding process involved an immersive learning experience, enabling our developers to swiftly contribute to the project’s success. In terms of frontend development, our team learned about 3D graphics techniques while working on a video editor in the browser.

The most difficult aspect of the backend was an orchestrator that orchestrates ML steps such as video processing, effects, and so on. In essence, our team learned a lot about architecture because the business’s requirements were quite demanding, with numerous flows. Our development team quickly adapted to client’s processes and preferred communication channels which significantly increased overall effectiveness and existing workflows.

The Outcome
