Still Cottage Studios, a small and agile independent 360 video studio based in Burbank, CA is seeking partnership and subcontracting opportunities. We provide a powerhouse network of experienced freelance crew and artists, who have worked together in various capacities at Still Cottage, Wevr, Live Nation Studios, POP.com, Digital Domain and a host of other traditional film & video production facilities. In 2016, we successfully produced 8 pieces of 360 content with Big Pictur...e Company, First Ave Machine and Storicraft. This year, we are ready to expand our partnership network and continue pushing the medium into stunning and cutting-edge premium content, branded content, entertainment, education and advertising. We have included our technical details below. We understand that you might already have existing 360 video content creation resources. We often augment internal teams with added capabilities from creative to technical including running projects completely independently. We can fit into your existing workflow and if you are ready for expansion, we can also provide consultation services to help you build out your internal resources. We would like to schedule a 20 minute introductory call to explore how we can integrate in your VR/360 video production projects. Feel free to email me at [email protected] or call at 323-207-6484 to talk more.

Software including 2 seats of Nuke Studio w/CaraVR, 4 render nodes of Nuke/CaraVR, Rush render queue manager (extra licenses available), Scratch VR, Mocha VR, Mettle Skybox v2, Adobe Creative Suite.
