Shared Folder Structure

The shared folder is mainly meant for content that should not be stored in SVN. In particular, the footage folder contains all the previews and renders for the work being done on sequences and shots. The footage folder contains directories named after the different produciton stages (dev, pre, pro and post). This helps to keep track of data depending on its production stage. The directory structure inside each directory is similar:

<sequence identifier>
├── sequence_previews # Videos for review
├── thumbnails # Loose frames that can be combined in any order
└── [<shot identifier>] # Individual shots that make up the sequence

shared
├── artifacts # Where Global Blender & Add-Ons are stored
