The first of two collaborations between Monsters. Aliens. Robots. Zombies. (MARZ Live) and SIRT involved creating a uniquely integrated online Film Development Kit (FDK) for their online portal that focuses on genre movies featuring monsters, aliens, robots and zombies. The portal is an aggregation site for both viewers and producers of content in these genres.

MARZ Live was so pleased with the results, they came back to SIRT to further develop their product. The second initiative’s purpose was to create editing and VFX components that integrate into the FDK. Both projects relied on Sheridan for web programming, and graphic design, with a primary focus on the interaction of computer programmers, visual effects specialists, and media post-production technologies.
