COVID-19 is forcing crews to change the way they work.
With social distancing and travel restrictions in place, the Onset Assistant™ is the safest and most efficient way to communicate with the rest of your team — as if they were on set. Whether you’re blocking a scene, pre-lighting, or checking continuity, you can competently work from a safe distance.
"Every conversation I have with someone is about solving a problem and moving the production forward. The Onset Assistant saved me from being involved in many conversations as the crew was using the system to solve their own issues, which by proxy, saved the company time."
"I was nervous about adding new technology to the shoot … it turned out to be hugely useful and really easy to work with."
"I can't imagine going to another film shoot and having them say there's no Onset."
"The Onset Assistant instant playback feature for quick reference saved my hide hundreds of times a day by solving crucial continuity questions."
“It works like a charm. It saved money because of travel and our carbon output as well. It was so crazy efficient.”
