Behind the Scenes of COVID: Setnet's Pivot That Saved Movie Making
When COVID-19 brought the world to a standstill, it seemed like the motion picture industry was heading for a long intermission. But at Setnet, we saw an opportunity not just to survive but to thrive and ensure the show went on. I want to share the story of how my team and I developed a product that not only kept us afloat but also revolutionized remote production in these unprecedented times.
