This software package is useful for long distance communication for editorial, VFX artists and any distance work. Used on a license fee basis, it's not cheaper but then free access might overwhelm their pipeline.
From their site, About:
cineSync is a remote review and approval tool based on Apple ® QuickTime technology. By synchronising the timeline and playback of movies, you can quickly and efficiently view your work at the same time with anyone anywhere in the world.
Build a playlist of movies, scrub to a point in a movie, playback a movie, draw on the screen with your mouse, write, circle and point to areas using the drawing tools – all synchronised in real time with everyone else in your review. You can also navigate through your playlist using Text Markers ('Bookmarks'), transfer your movies using a built-in FTP client, import and export Final Cut Pro XML data and save your session and your drawings for future reference.
cineSync offers an unparalleled user experience, making it possible for your clients to participate in a review session without needing their own account. All they need to do is download a small self-contained package, and login using a key that is unique per-review session. Movies are never transferred through the cineSync servers, ensuring that your reviews are secure, and your media never leaves the privacy of your own file servers.
cineSync is free to use for anyone that joins your review sessions.
Accounts are available as monthly, 6 monthly, or 12 month subscriptions.
You can assign multiple logins to a single cineSync account.
Account Upgrades are available at any time, and will be effective for the remainder of your subscription period.

Show in Show Business Today
Friday, 23 April 2010 00:00
While I thought that Borat was a wildly funny film and didn't see Bruno, the most recent Sacha Baron Cohen movie was getting pitched at a number of studios by some well-known comedy writers.
In a rare piece of 'Show' in 'Show Business', the head of Paramount, Brad Grey, sent an actual goat to both WME and its client, Sascha Baron Cohen. An actual goat. And it must've been a well-trained goat because it took a dump in t
he agent's office. If it takes one in a lawyer's office (the bane of the industry), then it would be a very well-trained goat. Suffice to say that showmanship goes a long way because it looks like Cohen and WME are going with Paramount.
In the heyday of holiday, all sorts of publicity gimmicks were used to get attention for films. Some were certainly cheap and over the top - but publicity was limited then to newspapers and radio. Now it's all the internet with everybody hashing it all out. Media saturation.

An Industry Beyond Parody
Wednesday, 14 April 2010 00:00
The Film Industry has now become such a laughingstock for its template driven mentality for the studio and distributor system that short films like this are no longer parody but insight. The new Digital Warfare age frees us from their clone mentality... And in this film, you can witness the 4 Minute Film School.
