[IBC Accelerator] Inside Perfect Memory’s collaboration with Hollywood studios

Perfect Memory is proud to have participated in the IBC Accelerator project “Usable VFX Archive”. The challenge was to demonstrate how to make the VFX archives actionable for the studio and its ecosystem, realising and exploiting value from film, TV and games 3D components. Too much time and money is wasted in redoing, searching and buying what is already available and usable. Perfect Memory collaborates on this project with MovieLabs, driving innovation and solutions to the challenges faced by Hollywood today (Universal Studios, Paramount Studios, Sony Innovation Studios…). Met during the Production Technology Seminar in Geneva, the IBC Accelerator committee saw in Perfect Memory’s DAM-as-a-Brain a high-value proposition for what MovieLabs aims to solve. After a full presentation of Perfect Memory solution in London, we were on board ! The deliverables of the project were: 1) A standard MovieLabs data model for VFX archive, 2) A Proof-of-concept that integrates the model and demonstrates that: – maintaining the links between all VFX components is the key to critical information propagation as rights and authors – reconciling the editorial information with the production environment information is mandatory for the preservation of archive – searching and browsing models, textures, materials according to business-oriented configuration answers critical business needs. The PoC demonstrated that we can keep searchable and operable any VFX archive produced at any moment by any stackholder of the workflow. As a consequence, turn archives into Assets. Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to thank Cédric Lejeune, from Workflowers, for his support.

Semantic data: The challenge of live sport data

La Perfect is very proud to share its last collaboration in the research field: a piece published in the last issue of the Journal of Digital Media Management. In this summer of 2018, la Perfect worked closely with the European Broadcasting Union to manage the 2018 European Championships data feeds. Jean Pierre Evain (EBU Technology and Innovation Department), Francesco Piva (EBU Software Engineer), Guillaume Rachez and Cédric Klein (Perfect Memory Project Leaders) testify about the challenge of handling live sport data, through a semantic approach. The full article is available on the Journal of Digital Media Management Website, but you can read the abstract below. In the world of sport, the role of data is absolutely central. During any competition event, continuous data feeds provide information on athletes, teams, start lists, schedules and live results — information that must be handled seamlessly and in real time. During the 2018 European Championships, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) applied semantic modelling to sport data, using a platform with a back-end capable of handling thousands of live data messages in real time. Official data from the event organisers was provided in the Olympic Data Feed format and transformed live to the EBUSport semantic format, before being fed to Perfect Memory’s smart media asset management system, connecting results, athlete bios and events to content edited from feeds and logging. The use of semantic technologies makes it possible to navigate linked data in innovative front-end applications. This paper provides a detailed review of the technical challenges faced when managing a semantic data driven ecosystem, and discusses the lessons learned. ...
