Gary Oberbrunner has joined Color Intelligence, the company behind Colourlab Ai, and will take on the role of Chief Software Architect. Gary is best known as a co-designer and lead developer of award-winning Sapphire Plug-ins, regarded as the most innovative and successful image processing plugins in the film, TV, and visual-effects industry.
“It is an exciting moment. With the addition of Gary to our team, Colourlab Ai has entered a new phase of its life cycle. We are transforming from an innovation boutique to a global player in the area of Ai for post production. In the next stage of our development, our innovative approach to color and image processing will become accessible to all creatives regardless of what hardware platform they choose: Mac, PC, cloud or even mobile phones. Version 3 of Colourlab Ai will make Ai for Color accessible to more people than ever before,” said Dado Valentic, Founder/CEO, Color Intelligence.

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.
