Chinese animation studio Xing Xing Digital Corp. has acquired Southpaw Technology’s TACTIC digital asset management system for use in production of all its animated shows, visual effects and feature films.
Based in Beijing, Xing Xing’s credits include animated programs such as Fireman Sam and Farm Kids; its visual effects have appeared in the films Tropic Thunder, X-Men, Red Cliff, Forbidden Kingdom, Changeling and others.
Designed by veterans of film, visual effects and video game productions, TACTIC offers asset management, workflow management, project management and communication tools. Its dynamic web-based interface, cross-platform support and robust API make it flexible and intuitive enough to handle diverse production environments.
‘We have been looking for a solution like TACTIC for many years,’ said Lifeng Wang, president of Xing Xing. ‘Some solutions provide project tracking. Others are good at version control. The team at Southpaw has created a solution that is great at it all. Its many production-oriented features are robust enough to handle the complexity and variety of projects we work on, and intuitive enough to get our teams up and running quickly. We’re really looking forward to simplifying the management of our assets and our projects.’
