MovieLabs, the technology joint venture of the major Hollywood motion picture studios, has opened a new round of submissions for its 2030 Showcase Program.
Now in its third year, the program recognises case studies in the M&E industry that apply various principles of the 2030 Vision in real-world media creation workflows and are demonstrate how they are achieving more efficient, interoperable and secure productions.
This year, MovieLabs is expanding the program by accepting submissions to enable companies to submit their most current case studies as they are completed. MovieLabs will highlight selected projects in its public industry outreach and the case studies will be published in the 2030 Showcase library on the MovieLabs website.
Organizations interested in participating must submit a case study that applies 2030 principles in a real-world workflow implementation.
Richard Berger, CEO of MovieLabs, said: “Over the last three years, we have had overwhelming interest from the industry wanting to take part in our 2030 Showcase program. This has enabled us to build an amazing library of case studies on our website as a reference for media and entertainment companies to understand how others are reinventing the media creation process. Our change in the submission process will allow more companies to submit work throughout the year, and we look forward to evaluating the case studies as they come in. I encourage all companies implementing aspects of the 2030 Vision to submit their case studies for consideration in the Showcase Program.”
Currently published MovieLabs case studies include those from Accenture, Adobe, Ateliere, AWS, Dreamworks Animation, Light Iron, Overcast, Prime Focus Technologies, ProductionPro, Skywalker Sound, Sony, Walt Disney Studios and Yamdu.
