“The Suitcase”: Using C4, Semantics and NoSQL for Managing Motion Picture Data

Today's television and motion picture production workflows make it incredibly challenging to preserve and manage data throughout the production lifecycle. The Entertainment Technology Center at the University of Southern California addresses this data dilemma through “The Suitcase” Project. “The Suitcase” is a short film created by Abi Damaris Corbin with a technical test led by the ETC Production in the Cloud Working Group. This paper examines the process of upstream authoritative metadata extraction so that it does not have to be recreated downstream, as well as processes for creating and enhancing metadata farther downstream when necessary. This document discusses how to effectively use C4 framework - Cinema Content Creation Cloud, semantics and NoSQL technologies to manage motion picture content, tagging metadata so that it can be leveraged for software applications.
