Abstract: A method and system are provided for screening media segments received from at least one originator. The method includes receiving at least one media segment from an originator, providing the media segment to at least one screener, associating feedback from the at least one screener with the at least one segment, thereby obtaining associated feedback, and delivering the associated feedback regarding the at least one segment to the originator of the media segment. The feedback provided to the originator is input by a screener using a portable screening room. The system for screening media segments includes an interface enabling communication between the originator of the media segment and at least one screener screening the media segment and a portable screening room used by the at least one screener to associate feedback with the media segment that is then sent to the originator.

Abstract: A global animation system includes: a pool of reusable characteristics for at least one character or feature; and a pool of available artists, wherein a member of the pool of available artists selects at least one reusable characteristic from the pool of reusable characteristics to create a character or feature. A method for managing an animation project includes: obtaining an animation project; disassembling the animation project into at least one individual task; assigning the at least one individual task to an artist, wherein the artist completes the at least one individual task using at least one characteristic stored in a pool of reusable characteristics.
