More Quality VFX Shots On Screen

Combining the financial management side of budgeting into the creative management of artists and shot feedback, everyone is aligned to the highest priority items and transparency in timing to complete work.
​
Results have shown up to a 20% efficiency in use, allowing more budget to end up on the screen instead of in process management.
From Set, To Artists
Our On-Set Data tools allow your VFX Team to gather as much camera information and production notes for each take as you need, via laptop, tablet or phone and are loaded directly into Bulletproof.
​
Takes are immediately assigned to VFX Shots but can be re-assigned when you get your EDL, so the artists have access to everything that happened on the day.

Built on 30 Years of VFX experience
A collaboration between art and science.
Bulletproof Studio Tools Co-founder, and Award-Winning VFX Supervisor, John Gajdecki, began evolving away from MS Excel into database management of his VFX projects over 20 years ago. The "Database" as it was known for many years became easier to scale as database platforms became more user friendly.
The "Database" was renamed "Bulletproof" and has been used on over ten Hollywood productions.
Realizing that working with Artists is the core of any VFX team, John created the tool for himself to better manage projects and to communicate more effectively with VFX artists, Producers and Studio Executives.
