Festival del film Locarno goes Ci
Sony By Adrian Pennington
With over 3,000 entries from 61 countries, the 67th Festival del film Locarno team took an innovative approach to organise film submissions, help programmers review films efficiently, and streamline some of their onsite production workflows.
Requiring a solution that could handle a wide range of films and formats as well as an easy-to-use environment for effective film critique, the Festival’s operations team used Sony Media Cloud Services’ Ci cloud-based video platform to test the upload of film submissions and establish a secure way for the Festival Committee to review films. Ci also assisted in the production
workflow of the Festival's coverage with the intent to extend Ci’s capabilities throughout its operations in years to come. “We are constantly looking to discover new ways to innovate our festival, both for our spectators and behind the scenes,” said Mario Timbal, chief operating officer, Festival del film Locarno. “With world premieres, shorts, and experimental cinema from all over the world, we wanted a forward-thinking solution that could support every professional format, our festival artistic direction, and our operations team. Ci’s collaborative platform delivered on all fronts.” It is also worth noting that the festival's opening film this year was Luc Besson’s Lucy, shot on the Sony F65. Hall 12
New applications for Observer Volicon By Carolyn Giardina
For the first time in Europe, Volicon is demonstrating five new applications within the company’s Observer Media Intelligence Platform. The new Capture application allows broadcasters to capture media from any source at any time, ingesting media either according to a schedule, in realtime, and/or 24/7 recording. It also lets the user review content as it is captured; and it creates a low- resolution proxy along with the True HD recording. The second new app, Share,
was created to allow the broadcaster to repurpose existing content quickly and subsequently push it to digital platforms and social media sites. Share also makes use of existing closed captioning text to publish content that is compliant with government
Observant: Volicon’s new Capture application regulations.
The new Review application
was created to provide broadcasters, networks, and playout service providers with a fast way to review on-air content, validating ad placement and performing competitive analysis. Volicon’s Comply application enables users to record, clip, and export their broadcasts to meet regulatory and licensing requirements, ranging from decency to
closed captioning to loudness. Lastly, the new Monitor application allows users to monitor video quality, respond to fault reports, and use a full recording of the on-air broadcast for instant review of errors and their impact. It also provides an integrated multiviewer feature that enables Observer Media Intelligence Platform users to use their standard displays as multiviewers. 7.G23
