RUNNING A REMOTE STUDIO
With social distancing measures in place around the world, remote working has become a viable alternative to offices. This new approach has allowed some creators to continue working on their projects without the use of a studio and some modern tools may even offer teams benefits that exceed the lockdown’s end. That is certainly the case for Agora Studio, a VFX and animation hub that was well ahead of the curve, with the studio built entirely from a remote workforce. Despite doing things a little differently, Agora has expanded to be capable of managing hundreds of employees remotely at any given time. “We have a pool of a little over 650 freelancers in our pool of resources and work on 10 or 12 projects simultaneously,” adds co-founder David Hubert.
