Using any web browser, on any computer – Mac, PC, Linux – users have varying levels of permissioned access ranging from those who upload and view only, to those who can view and collaborate, to those with access to private comments.
CBC Arts and Entertainment productions using FORscene include the television series Intelligence filming in Vancouver, Sophie filming in Montreal; Heartland filming south of Calgary; JPOD filming in Vancouver, MVP filming in London; and The Border filming in Toronto.

At the encouragement of broadcast and film powerhose, Fred Fuchs, Executive Director of CBC Arts and Entertainment, and under the direction of Richard Stursberg, Vice President of Arts and Entertainment for CBC, FORscene provided an avenue to save time and money while providing access and convenience.
