Managing your assets: The expert view
What does your workflow look like? We gathered some fascinating industry insights from leading programme makers in an expert round table session hosted by Jake Bickerton, Content Director at Televisual.
Making sense of today’s workflow challenge
An effective media asset management strategy is a vital part of any content creator’s workflow.
In today’s 4K, multi-platform world, programme making means higher video resolutions, bigger files – and more content. And that means looking after all those assets through a project’s lifecycle can be a challenge for large and smaller production companies alike.
In a rountable session hosted at London’s Hospital Club, Televisual Content Director Jake Bickerton invited a group of highly experienced broadcast and corporate filmmakers to discuss their production workflows. Sponsored by Sony, the lively session pinpointed the issues – and solutions – associated with managing the wide range of assets created on a typical shoot.
