Digital Motion Picture Archive Framework Project

In 2009 was graciously given the opportunity to intern at the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts & Sciences SciTech Council. I participated in the Digital Motion Picture Archive Framework Project. This joint project between AMPAS and NDIIP aimed to investigate the real world challenges in the development of a digital preservation system for digital motion picture films.

Not only was I able to work on high level systems design and information architecture, I had the opportunity to display some of my graphical prowess and create some diagrams that were published in the supporting case study publication and presentations. The case study publication was titled Long-Term Management and Storage of Digital Motion Picture Materials. The case study can be downloaded via the case study page.

I also contributed towards taxonomy development, asset cataloging, and crossmapping of digital motion picture metadata file formats (Cineon, OpenEXR, & DPX). My excel file of the crosswalk can be found here.
