Over the past few years while blockchain technology has risen in the financial spaces of the Internet ("DeFi"), it has largely remained "on the fringes" of the video technology space. SMPTE is exemplary: a blockchain category has been among the categories, but few talks have touched on it, let alone anticipated the shift 2020-2021 would bring to mainstream this technology, thanks to the rise of Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) for digital art and now for all types of media including video.
Framing complexity has risen over the last several years, but yet the process for conveying framing from set to post-production for the most part remains the same. Without a standardized set of metadata for communicating framing, the process can be very labor intensive and error prone. The ASC’s Advanced Data Management (ADM) sub-committee intends to provide a mechanism to document framing decisions through all phases of a project’s lifecycle, from pre-visualization through post-production, allowing for a much more automated process of sharing and applying framing information between departments.
