FiveSprockets virtual production studio

BY ANDRE SOARES. LOS ANGELES (PRESS RELEASE) — FiveSprockets today unveiled several enhancements to its virtual production studio, including a new suite of script formats, improved profile features and direct access for users to ProtectRite, an online service for time-sealed intellectual property registration. “The latest enhancements to FiveSprockets help us meet the needs of a wider group of media creators,” said the president of FiveSprockets. “These are the first in a series of planned upgrades to enable producers of all skill levels — from professional and aspiring filmmakers to video enthusiasts to advertising agencies — to collaborate with others to develop, produce, and promote their work.”

The new script formats include television sitcom/drama, stage play, radio play and comic book. Profile enhancements include rich project pages where users can showcase their work. The company’s partnership with ProtectRite enables FiveSprockets users to access the ProtectRite service directly from vScripter, FiveSprockets online story development and scriptwriting software.

“We chose to partner with ProtectRite because they are the pioneer of online intellectual-property registration. Their established history and industry-leading vaulting process was a perfect for FiveSprockets,” said Ullrich.

FiveSprockets, which launched in September, is an online collaboration platform offering essential resources and on-demand software to enable its users to make better media, more efficiently and profitably, from any location. The site serves as a virtual one-stop shop, providing innovative tools to support the five phases, or “sprockets,” of media production: story development, pre-production, production, post-production, and marketing and distribution.

Always evolving with new features, the current platform includes:

  • vScripter — collaborative story development and scriptwriting software
  • vProductionOffice — collaborative production-management software
  • Job Boards — helping producers find the perfect cast and crew
  • Social/Professional Networking — rich user profiles, project showcasing, and the ability to connect with friends and colleagues
  • Resources — a host of dynamic conversational and educational content and resources across all five phases of production

FiveSprockets offers functionality feature films, documentaries, television serials, advertising, Webisodes, Mobisodes, and comics.
