For the 2015 production of reality TV show Wild Island, Germany-based MoovIT production services needed to determine how to manage a remote workflow over 6,000+ miles, with filming and production taking place on two secluded islands off the coast of Central America, and post taking place in Cologne, Germany.
With six cameras covering the action, the production team, who were located on a neighboring island one hour away by boat, needed to wrangle 20 to 30 hours of footage they received per day, with zero downtime and a 24-hour turn on dailies. Further, they needed to corral the large amounts of data they received on a daily basis, and make that content available to the Cologne production staff in a timely, safe and organized manner.
Die IBC hat den Innovation Award für Content Management an Endemol Shine Germany und deren Technologiepartner Editshare und MoovIT vergeben.
MoovIT hat für die technisch sehr ungewöhnliche Produktion der Sendung »Wild Island« die Technik geliefert und Workflows entwickelt (film-tv-video.de hatte darüber berichtet).
Eine der Herausforderungen des Projekts bestand darin, für die Sendung Technik zu liefern, die mit den klimatischen Verhältnissen inmitten des Pazifiks zurechtkam und die letztlich ohne Vorkenntnisse genutzt werden konnte. Rund 30 Stunden Videomaterial und 300 Stunden Audiomaterial kamen täglich zusammen, die es dann täglich zu synchronisieren galt. Hierfür hatte MoovIT eine Software geschrieben, die es ermöglichte, das Material automatisch zu synchronisieren und so vorzubereiten, dass es innerhalb eines halben Tages für den Schnitt verfügbar war.
MoovIT setzte bei dem Projekt eine Editshare-Lösung ein, basierend auf XStream EFS und integriertem Flow Media-Asset-Management und dem webbasierte Airflow-Toolset.
