During 2014 we researched the possibilities for Open Source to be recognised as developing for Film Production new and more exciting ways in which to work.
This new area of innovation and future development was very important part of how we will all work in the future and approach & encourage new film production techniques.
Digital Film Production, where new sensor heavy cameras are used to capture light and expose an OCDN (Original Camera Digital Negative) and then allow those images to be instantly saved/processed to proprietary capture cards, is a fast paced and constantly evolving arena. Once those images are stored on the original media they require backing up first and foremost and then those copies have their dailies workload applied to them, meaning transcoding to varying required formats for all departments that need them (edit, VFX etc)
Then the next stage includes colour science pipeline (from sensor capture to DI), full VFX workflows, colour grading for both dailies and final DI, delivery and DCP.
There is a lot of work that each frame goes through and manipulated until the final conform and delivery is completed.
Open Source has the potential to engage in all these departments with hardware support, software development and innovation and constant evolution of current practices.
We can take even more control of our images, from the sensors onwards, and Open Source ecology will allow us to participate and evolve, so we can take the future in our own hands.
