Overview
Weka Enables Artists to Seamlessly Collaborate Globally
Founded in 2020, Preymaker is a groundbreaking creative and technology studio with an expertise across all areas of content creation, media and I.P. Preymaker made the conscious decision to be 100% cloud-based, which served it well when the COVID pandemic made it difficult to work in an environment with on-premises infrastructure. Preymaker crafts content for leading brands and studios, engaging artists all over the world, from Los Angeles to New York, London, France, Sweden, and South Africa. With a distributed team like this, the cloud is an ideal platform, as artist workstations can be spun up and down depending on capabilities and project demands.
“The ability to just hit ‘play’ in front of a customer and display uncompressed rendered content from shared file storage without a hiccup has been a pipe dream within the industry for a long time—and being able to do that from centralized data on Weka is a huge win for us.
WekaIO’s automated S3 tiering just made large amounts of my day—having to manage and shuffle data—just completely evaporate, so that was an absolute game-changer for me. From a management and technical labor standpoint, Weka is a single-person vehicle.”
