Illumination Entertainment outgrew its editorial infrastructure following the growing success of its blockbuster movie franchise, Despicable Me. As a result, the postproduction facility required a rapid expansion of its production capacity, combined with a greater need for shared resources among editors. In addition to a series of new edit bays, Illumination Entertainment specified a need for all editors to be able to quickly swap in and out of the review suite for dailies, as well as switch between workstations and editing resources as easily and quickly as possible. While providing a solution for existing workflow challenges, the company also needed future scalability and upgradability in production capacity.

Now, editors at Illumination Entertainment can setup for dailies or a review session on their own Avid system from anywhere. When they need to run dailies, they simply switch to their review suite system and/or push it to a different location. Editors can also access any of the content to playback in a separate presentation suite for the client, all without interrupting any of the other ongoing editing sessions.
