Setellite vs VFXReports

Since 2012, Setellite has set the standard as the most widely used platform for on-set VFX data organization. Setellite offers VFX data wranglers, VFX supervisors and production crews extensive productivity and real-time collaborative project sharing solutions to quickly and efficiently collect critical on-set (VFX) shot data that can be easily modified and shared with key stakeholders before, during, and after production. Setellite is built around the concept of creating digital forms and is fully compatible with the system of slates and takes used on any film set throughout the world, whether you shoot for features or episodic. Setellite does not require an active (data) connection to collect on-set data. However, certain functionalities such as initial project syncing (downloading data to the device) and security measures (f.i. 2FA, depending on your preferences) might need temporary connectivity. When offline, syncing between your project and the website (or with other users) is suspended, but will resume as soon as a connection is available.

VFXReports is an app for taking Visual Effects notes on a film/tv set during a shoot. It is designed to easily and quickly record important camera and on-set information, as well as save reference images. At the end of the shoot day, or the end of the project, you can export an organized PDF report including notes and reference images. You can also export a CSV for importing in VFX data pipelines. • The app is organized to take notes as filming progresses. Within a PROJECT, you can create a SHOOTDAY, add SETUPS for that day, and add TAKES within that SETUP. • The App can also assign "defaults" at different levels, which cascade down to sections within that category. For example, if the entire PROJECT will shoot with one camera, you can set the PROJECT default camera as "A: Alexa", and each SHOOTDAY, SETUP, and TAKE created within that project will assume "A: Alexa" as the camera. This can be set, or reset, at any time, and only affects a SHOOTDAY, SETUP, or TAKE created after the "default" is assigned. So "defaults" will not go back and change any notes previously recorded. • Another example of a defaults could be... the SHOOTDAY Weather as "Sunny", so each SETUP within that day would assume "Sunny". Another would be a SETUP Camera Height set at "5ft 6in", and each TAKE within that SETUP would assume "5ft 6in". • These "defaults" can automate recording details that may not change or seldom change. It acts as a suggestion for the detail, but can also be easily changed or updated. For example "Sunny", could be corrected to "Cloudy" and set as the new default for the SHOOTDAY.
