"Cloud" drifting into the field of film and television triggering revolution

"Cloud" mobile phone, "cloud" TV, ensued, more enriched people's lives, but also to the information Age people brought great convenience. It can be said that cloud computing is not only caused by a simple it technology revolution, it is quietly changing people's lives. Now, "cloud" has drifted into the film and television field. How the film interacts with cloud computing has long been one of the most famous topics in the Hollywood industry.

The 3D film "Toy Story 3", produced by the Oscar-nominated Pixar film Company, is true and exquisite, thanks to cloud computing. The Dream factory, the owner of Kung Fu Panda 2, which is familiar to Chinese audiences, has been moving towards cloud computing in 2003. Cloud Computing provides a platform for production, storage, and processing of many film and television productions, and plays a key role in providing the computing resources needed to make these films.

When people talk about the movie industry, they tend to come up with these words: Glamour, Money, success, movie star, but it's basically not going to be in your head. However, cloud computing has brought a new revolution to the film industry.

The film industry has decided to embrace cloud computing fully. This makes sense: the film industry is a very broad and huge area, not just Hollywood, where the movie industry is more like a global village. You can share files with friends in Los Angeles in London, and you can watch movies online so you can save a lot of time and money. Friends who work in the film industry describe how cloud computing helps them.

John Fox: "For smaller studios, a NAS (networked storage) and an extra dedicated server to handle various external drives is sufficient." But hundreds of g of raw material upload, this is definitely a very difficult task, unless within a reasonable time frame, you have enough speed to upload. While there is a lot of free service, if your stuff is in bulk, you'll see the importance of the VPS (Virtual Private server) technology and the VPN (virtual private receptacle, the dedicated network). Many TV stations have one or two dedicated NAS devices, often linked to each branch on a virtual private network, and I really think it's a good strategy, so that it can leverage itself and increase cost-effectiveness. As time progresses, I think the wrestling between the data is becoming more and more easy. Large studios often roll their own large rendering workshops and data centers, and even, if necessary, budget more for additional infrastructure.

Matthew Radway: "I use Dropbox to create a folder for each project so that the actors and the cast can make it easier to share."

Neil Meffan: "Dropbox is very beneficial to the sharing of people, Google Docs is also very necessary, in the offline case can also save the backup."

Ewan Richardson: "I use cloud computing to render and transcoding specific items." 0 inputs to hardware cost for large rendering.

Cloud computing has taken root in the film industry, it can be a 24G high-definition film every frame of the data processing, but also can be version of the conversion, special effects, large-scale scene rendering, can manage a large film library of films, film production, film distribution can also be used to push the film to the movie theater, Audio-visual outlets, the Internet and other channels. The truth is that cloud computing, which lowers the cost of filmmaking, really drives the development of the film industry.
