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 (ETC) 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 further downstream when necessary. This paper discusses how to effectively use the C4 framework—Cinema Content Creation Cloud, semantics, and NoSQL technologies—to manage motion picture content by tagging metadata so that it can be leveraged for software applications.
