• Protection copy of worker • Studio copy of worker • 3rd clone of worker for safety • Output of project • Clone and 2nd protection • Archive … maybe So? Whether it’s for film, streaming or broadcast, large – extremely large – files have to be transferred to the production team. For practical reasons (the reliability of wireless distribution, the stability/consistency of LTE or 5G service) we still believe the original data needs to be captured and stored on fast, high-capacity solid-state storage or even high-performance hard drives. Then, as MovieLabs recommends for tomorrow and as Frame.io, Brightcove, Ziflow, CloudApp and others will be demonstrating at NAB/IBC, the files can be uploaded as soon as they are shot to the cloud. This enables producers to examine content in near real time to recommend new/added shots just as though they were on set. The cloud – public, private, hybrid - has proven to be very useful in post work. As we’ll discuss in the second half of the production/post overview of what folks can expect at NAB/IBC, the 2020 bump in road proved that cloud workflow got here faster than we expected, and it works very nicely with our shifting content delivery requirements. The pandemic and rapidly changing film/show production/delivery requirements showed that creatives are able to not only survive but thrive. Or, as Stephen Jameson explained the situation in The Tomorrow People, “The only way to keep my species from going extinct is to find my father, and the only way to do that is by working for the enemy.” And from what we’ve seen in looking ahead and examining what will be taking place at NAB and IBC and looking back at what content creators/developers have done since shifting production and post work, things are going to be better … a whole lot better!
