This post is a review of Resilio Active Everywhere and their Slipstream features. This post also outlines a Resilio ShotGrid integration using a webhooks workflow. Here's the demo video and GitHub repository for that. This post is not sponsored.

Introduction​

For a couple years now, I've been wondering about the best setups for data distribution in Visual Effects. How do you get shots to clients? How do you make it easy for artists, working from a million different places, to access data and plates? In 2024, I wrote about a new company called Suite Studios, and recently in August, I revisited the subject, writing about the whole landscape for file streaming and data-distribution. At Baked Studios, I put together a workflow that incorporated file streaming, and it worked for the most part, but there was always some parameter, some feature that didn't work perfectly for us. It seemed impossible to find a platform that could tick every box.

It's September 2025 now, and I think I've found the workflow I was looking for.

This post outlines a neat and exciting way to use a Tidbyt device in production for VFX.

I'm excited to share a cool integration I put together. Here's the documentation for creating a Tidbyt status monitor using Python and a strange mysterious language called Starlark. Tidbyts are these small, wall-powered displays that can be used to show information on your desk or anywhere else you want to keep track of cool stuff.
