4K & Beyond "Sponsored Feature & Marketing Package"
Camera Manufacturers, Postproduction facilities, Providers of digital workflow solutions & collaboration tools and workflow consultants are invited to sponsor this special feature. Having received great feedback on our first two Entertainment Technology sponsored features on October 17, 2014 and January 30, 2015, we're excited to bring the next installment to our readers.
UltraHD 4K is here. In 2014, feature films have been acquired with 4K cameras, and the test UHD broadcasts have begun. At NAB, manufacturers are showing not just a multitude of 4K cameras, but infrastructure and systems for complete UHD production and post. With Japan resolutely heading towards 8K broadcast, we know that the evolution of imagery won’t stop at 4K. We’re already hearing that drumbeat with 6K cameras, HDR (High Dynamic Range) and wider color gamut. SHOOT takes a deep dive – beyond the hype – to find out what’s real and what’s really happening in 4K and beyond.
Included with sponsorship is participation in the feature and a high-profile marketing package consisting of digital and print advertising and promotion that complements and brings tremendous added exposure to both the article and the sponsoring companies. We're thrilled to be working with freelance entertainment technology writer Debra Kaufman again for this feature and look forward to working with another great group of companies for the March feature.
Sponsors of the October feature were Arc 9, ARRI Rental, Company 3, Shotgun and Simian.
Sponsors of the January feature were EC3, FotoKem, MTI Film and Prime Focus Technologies.

Simian Gets An Evolutionary Boost For Collaboration, Reveals “Teams”
Simian, the showreel-building, review & approval, and production asset management platform used globally by creative leaders, is kicking off this fall season with a substantial leap forward for collaboration and project management – with more updates on the way during the holidays!
The new feature, aptly dubbed “Teams”, makes it easier than ever for users to give project responsibilities to team members and clients alike. “You can never have too many options when it comes to permission levels,” says Jay Brooks, Simian’s Chief Technology Officer. “Teams provides a streamlined way to assign multiple users to a project at once.”
“Teams are very powerful, but creating one is effortless,” Brian Atton, Simian’s Chief Operating Officer explains. “Simply enter a Team name, add members, and then apply the newly made Team to any desired project. You can even invite temporary guests without changing settings for other projects or needing to create a new Team.”
“We love helping our clients by providing efficient tools to improve their workflow, and this has been a frequently requested feature as of late,” shares Kellie Atton, Head of Sales at Simian. “It feels great to get Teams out into the wild because I know it’s going to be tremendously helpful to everyone who uses it”.
Teams is now available exclusively to Simian’s enterprise clients. Simian plans to release more product upgrades and enhancements during Q4 2024 and 2025 for enterprise and non-enterprise users, continuing its ongoing evolution as the industry’s leading production asset management solution.
