GB Labs builds NebulaNAS on Storj and solves remote film production challenges

International digital film production and collaboration presents challenges such as quick global transfers and ensuring the security of digital media traveling across borders. Grace and Hunter needed to find a secure cloud storage solution to get footage shot in Rwanda quickly back to the team based in California.

“We needed to get our footage back to our team in Los Angeles as quickly as possible. We needed the peace of mind to know our footage wouldn’t be lost in transit and we really wanted to get notes from our IMAX professor on the framing since it is unique compared to traditional film or television framing,” said Hunter Hartz.

Storj and NebulaNAS provided collaborative global post-production in the cloud. Leveraging Storj distributed cloud object storage as its backend, NebulaNAS provided a revolutionary advantage. Storj transforms underutilized global storage space into a massive global network, eliminating the need for costly data centers and providing high durability and performance. The cost is up to 90% less than traditional cloud storage solutions.

Thanks to GB Labs NebulaNAS’ innovative approach and integration with Storj for data storage and sharing, Grace and Hunter overcame the hurdles of distance and connectivity, enabling real-time collaboration and editing during their travels.

“We were relieved knowing our footage was secure with NebulaNAS. The system’s simplicity saved us invaluable time, which translated directly into creative output,” reflects Hunter. As a result, the sizzle reel for ‘Soaring-over-Rwanda’ was ready for Grace’s presentation at two critical conferences, opening doors to new investments and business connections vital for the project's continuation.

"I would never do another shoot like this without NebulaNAS and Storj," Grace reflected.
