Verb! Media - Website + Intranet
Update (10/18/07): Verb! has officially closed their doors and moved on in different directions, I have posted a replica of their site on Scine for posterity. Verb! will be missed. New Link: verb.scine.com
Verb! needed an online presence that matched the quality of their work. The result: An elegant database driven Flash website that allows them to update work samples and manage their clients’ work in a secure environment.
We also built an internal production Intranet / Extranet that allows Verb to easily compress, preview, and post movies and files to their clients for review which has become an integral part of their work flow.
All aspects of project management are handled through an Intranet website running on a Mac OSX server. The process begins with a producer creating a project on the Intranet. Once jobs have been created the server sets up folders on their internal network for their designers to work from. Movies and files can be posted to the server where they are automatically compressed and sent to back to Producers for review. From there updates to the secure client extranet are one click away greatly increasing work flow and simplifying the process of getting their work in front of clients.
Verb! Media is a motion graphics studio with some serious skills, their work is always on the cutting edge and beautifully executed. They have won numerous awards for their work with clients such as HBO, Comedy Central, and HP.
