Case Studies
SohoSoHo
"As an early adopter of SohoSoHo, I cannot recommend the service highly enough. "
"For so many reasons the commercial production sector has now become a truly international one, so naturally it's more important than ever to offer immediate and reliable online access to your directors' work. It's also crucial to operate that access in a controlled way, ensuring that your company is presented consistently in every market."

It's also crucial to operate that access in a controlled way, ensuring that your company is presented consistently in every market. Tandem stores over twenty years' worth of animation material on the ChilliVault archive - including our extensive short film catalogue - and from there we can easily create custom reels and share the work with our representatives and clients, wherever they may be. You can also create projects online, allowing third parties to download your work to their desktop in their ideal format. Add to that the ability to monitor when your reels are viewed or work downloaded and you have what is to me an essential marketing and production tool."

"Another plus is the landing page of SohoSoHo which is now a very effective showcase for companies who use the service - highlighting your most recent work, posting your news stories and emailing them worldwide with links to view the work. "
"It was this service that originally showcased our first Simon's Cat film, attracting a massive number of hits long before it reached YouTube and beyond!"
"The SohoSoHo interface is clean, clear and open to customization to the extent that we use their embedded links to play reels through the Tandem website."
"Beyond all of these obvious benefits, one of the most positive aspects of SohoSoHo is the people: they are always keen to listen and to implement your comments, so that you really feel part of their development."

ChilliBean Delivery
"BBH London's new international Levis TV campaign, 'Unbuttoned', is the first project to benefit from this streamlined production concept. Directed by Federick Bond, all visual effects were created by Absolute Post's Flame and CG teams over a 5 week period."
"Once the main masters had been finished, Absolute set about adapting legals, supers and voice-overs for all global territories."
"Global distribution entailed encoding for everything from bespoke website formats through to hi-res digital cinema, with individual country specs, plus delivering to global TV stations and cinema chains. All deliveries were tracked 24 hours a day, allowing BBH to oversee and monitor all local deliveries. ChilliBean can not only deliver top end visual effects, but deliver them efficiently, and at bundled costs to internal networks, or as with Levis, to ChilliBean partners across the world."
"BBH London's Dav Karbassioun said... "We've worked on Levis for 25 years but the 'Live Un-buttoned 501' campaign is the first time we've produced a set of films for all our territories. Timing and budget were a massive challenge as ever, but the added pressure of supply to territories all over the world at the same time was an immense added challenge. Different markets required different and numerous formats as well as adaptions on the creative/language. ChilliBean provided a fantastic service by seamlessly supplying our output all across the world at both SD and HD formats for both TV and cinema. This essentially allowed us to launch the campaign days after Absolute made the final touches, in North America, throughout Asia, and Europe at the same time. Elements were supplied overnight and the guys made it so easy for us by taking full responsibility for the timely and quality delivery. The time and cost-efficiency of this process was a real eye-opener."
"ChilliBean were asked by Saatchi & Saatchi London to help in the global distribution of the 2008 campaign for Visa, 'Running Man'. Working closely with the Visa team, headed up by Andy Gulliman at Saatchi & Saatchi, ChilliBean successfully distributed on time and on budget the Visa 'Running Man' campaign."
"Saatchi & Saatchi has already been working closely with ChilliBean and a number of their clients on global distribution projects. With this new campaign, Saatchi & Saatchi were again looking to secure a solution, that enabled the upload of large media files that could be distributed around the world for local adaption."
"The files were then made available for dedicated members of Saatchi's global network, who could then download them to create versions for each particular local market. All files were tracked through the system to confirm that delivery had taken place."
"The team benefited from these unique ChilliBean features:"
- Managed 24/7 service
- No tape shipping costs
- Fast and reliable delivery
- Masters are stored forever
"After producing a pan European commercial for Visa we utilised the service to adapt and dispatch the individual country requests and versions. With more demands being placed on schedules it was decided to condense the time allocated for adaption and delivery. ChilliBean capitalized on the time and delivered each individual request because time was spent crafting their commercial and countries were happy to receive their spots on time."
