This means your collaborators can view, download, and comment on still images in real time, anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Not only does C2C offer more effective communication between teams, but it also speeds up workflow and creates an immediate cloud backup.

They were working together on Karen\u2019s project The Lonely Astronaut, which depicts a solitary spaceman exploring an uninhabitable planet Earth, long deserted by humans.<\/p>\n<p>While The Lonely Astronaut is predominantly a stills project, Karen enlisted Natalie\u2019s animation skills to add a new dimension to this particular set of images \u2013 and receiving such immediate feedback through C2C proved invaluable.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp_flexbox col2\">\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/C2C-Karen_Natalie-Screengrab-2-HiQ.jpg?width=581&#038;height=363\" alt=\"FUJIFILM X-H2 positioned on a tripod with the Ft-XH File Transmitter attached\" width=\"581\" height=\"363\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/C2C-Karen_Natalie-Screengrab-3-HiQ.jpg?width=581&#038;height=363\" alt=\"Shot of computer screen showing image being marked up\" width=\"581\" height=\"363\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><p>\u201cWhen I collaborate like that it typically takes a lot longer, because I have to go home, put everything onto my laptop, upload it to the cloud, and then edit \u2013 it\u2019s a long process,\u201d explains Karen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen, once the images are uploaded, it\u2019s a case of: well, this is what you get, I can\u2019t go back in time and change it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Natalie, it was really cool. Before I had even finished the first batch of photos, she had already made notations on things like the model\u2019s pose, so I could make the changes she needed while still on set.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Natalie agrees. She highlights how making these small changes can save a huge amount of time in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could communicate my thoughts directly to Karen, raising flags when I saw things that might hinder me,\u201d says Natalie. \u201cIf I were to catch something like that further down the pipeline, we would simply have to work with what we had \u2013 it doesn\u2019t make financial sense to call everybody back and recreate the project just to make my job easier.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/C2C-Karen_Jerzyk-Lonely_Astronaut-2.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/C2C-Karen_Jerzyk-Lonely_Astronaut-2.jpg\" alt=\"Astronaut floating in front of corridor\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2023 \u00a9 Karen Jerzyk FUJIFILM X-H2 and FUJINON XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR, 1\/125 sec at F2.8, ISO 1250<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2>A More Efficient Workflow<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to fast and effective communication, the simplicity of the tools used brings significant benefits to a project\u2019s workflow \u2013 there is little that hinders creative flow more than fiddly, overcomplicated processes.<\/p>\n<p>Both Karen and Natalie were delighted by the speed and agility of C2C technology, along with the convenience of the Frame.io software.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith C2C, I don\u2019t even have to think about it. I\u2019m creating the images, and they\u2019re immediately being sent. By the time I was working on the third batch of photos, Natalie was already animating almost a final piece from the first batch I made,\u201d Karen tells us.<\/p>\n<p>Natalie continues: \u201cIt was like bridging production and post without having to wait weeks at a time for assets to get delivered, color correcting to happen, and a decision to be made on visuals.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp_flexbox col2\">\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/C2C-Karen_Natalie-Screengrab-6-HiQ.jpg?width=581&#038;height=363\" alt=\"handheld shot of smartphone screen showing photographer leaving a comment on an image\" width=\"581\" height=\"363\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/C2C-Karen_Natalie-Screengrab-7-HiQ.jpg?width=581&#038;height=363\" alt=\"image of computer screen showing image from lonely astronaut shoot.\" width=\"581\" height=\"363\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><h2>Working Smarter, Not Harder<\/h2>\n<p>The ability to move away from a step-by-step workflow that requires one process to finish before the next begins means creative teams can utilize valuable hours that would otherwise have been wasted.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a huge benefit for Karen, who regularly finds herself working in remote locations a long way from home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll spend six hours driving to a location, make the photos, and spend another six hours driving back,\u201d explains Karen. \u201cBy the time I get back, I\u2019m usually tired, but still have to download the pictures from the memory card to a computer, only to make copies and upload them to the cloud.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith C2C, all of that was happening right away.
