Story-centric workflows in the cloud
While the transition from tape-based to file-based media production has resulted in faster and better workflows, media companies and broadcasters are facing new challenges. Programme makers wish to tell their stories on multiple distribution platforms (websites, mobile devices, second screen), but lack adequate tools to do so in an efficient and unified way. Powerful consumer-oriented solutions can provide the programme maker with more autonomy and flexibility when facing specific requirements (e.g. planning, scripting, logging, editing). However, current platforms are typically not designed to support these flexible workflows.
The CHAMP project aims to take autonomous media production to the next level by offering a flexible production platform which enables programme makers to tell their multimedia story in an efficient and easily accessible way. . Cloud applications allow them to collaborate over the network, irrespective the location, by using consumer devices such as laptops, tablets and smart phones. Story-centric media and metadata are stored reliably in the cloud and can be exchanged by making optimal use of the network available to the user. CHAMP will be a continuously improving platform that paves the way for more creative and efficient story-centric transmedia workflows.
