Why Most Studios Struggle with Pipeline
-
Your team’s creativity is being held back by inefficiencies, and fixing the problem feels overwhelming:
-
The size of the problem is unknown and undocumented.
-
It’s too complex to explain to executives and decision-makers.
-
Pipeline solutions often come with a high 7-figure price tag, far beyond most studios’ reach.
-
Developers are stuck putting out fires instead of building sustainable systems.
Many studios spend $500k+ annually with no tangible ROI. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
How Our Studio Roadmap Works
We take the guesswork out of optimizing your pipeline with a simple, 4-step process:
1. Audit Your Workflows
We create a clear, visual map of all your high-level production tasks, showing how they connect and the software you rely on (e.g., ShotGrid, Maya, Houdini, Unreal Engine).


2. Identify Opportunities
Using our 7 Task Phase framework (Start, Build, ART, Render, Review, Refresh, Publish) , we break down every task—isolating inefficiencies and pinpointing opportunities to "Automate Everything but the Art.”
3. Align Your Team
Through collaborative workshops, we help your team agree on priorities using our Simplicity vs. ROI Matrix, ensuring everyone’s aligned on what matters most.


4. Deliver Your Roadmap
In just 2-4 weeks, you’ll receive a high-level overview and step-by-step implementation guide for immediate and long-term improvements.
