and how sports organisations in particular have adapted to the new realities of content creation and delivery during the Covid-19 crisis.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Ian McDonough, CEO of cloud video editing specialists Blackbird; Arsenal FC\u2019s Senior Product and Engineering Manager John Dollin; and Scott Gillies, Chief Technology Officer at newly-launched video game and esports TV network VENN joined us for a &#8211; remotely-produced \u2013 session examining the ways in which more content is being delivered quicker than ever, in complicated circumstances.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/go.pardot.com\/l\/856843\/2020-08-21\/5bfgm\"><button>View the session<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Whereas pre-Covid, remote production was largely about reducing costs by not having to fly large crews to events around the world, now the term has become a catch-all for content produced, edited and distributed from home. Production suites are now in studies and bedrooms. Locations have changed and so have hardware requirements.<\/p>\n<p>As McDonough surveyed the remote production landscape, he homed in on three key advances: First, that \u201cthe kit is key\u201d; producing content on off-the-shelf laptops has become the norm. Second, making archive material rapidly accessible from a central election, to allow for quick splicing and clipping, has become vitally important. And third, an accelerated migration to public cloud, with the security, sustainability and convenience benefits that brings.<\/p>\n<p>In a wide-ranging 50 minutes of discussion, other key pointers for remote production best practice emerged.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Educate your talent<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Dollin is pleased with what his team at Arsenal were able to achieve both during the lockdown period and when live football resumed in July. Initially operating without the capability for remote editing, a trial with Blackbird tools swiftly turned into a larger agreement.<\/p>\n<p>An early iteration of workflows revealed some unexpected challenges, such as some editors working from home off 2MBs of bandwidth. Even before editing, new workflows were created, adapted and systems knitted together to allow tasks such as finding archive material, encoding, file downloads and colour grading to be completed to the right standard.<\/p>\n<p>And on the other side of the camera, valuable time was spent training and guiding players, staff and broadcast talent to ensure they were able to set up their own lighting, find the right backdrop and location for connectivity within their homes and, often with the help of family members, operate cameras. \u201cYou\u2019ve got some innovative stuff happening there,\u201d Dollin reported, \u201csuch as using WhatsApp as talkback, or a GoPro with an iphone filing it so you can see what\u2019s happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Skype were all integrated into the club\u2019s cloud video mixer, while social distancing best practice was adhered to throughout thanks to some creative camerawork and even the use of drones.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Watch what the streamers are doing<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>As sports organisations have scrabbled to produce content remotely, the world of esports, gaming and streamers can provide a few handy cues. As VENN\u2019s Gillies put it: \u201cEsports and gaming is all about having home studios and remote contribution, and being able to link in in non-traditional ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At VENN, which effectively launched as a remote operation last month, many of its contributors are remote by design. \u201cVENN.tv is a new kind of network for the streaming generation, aimed at esports and pop culture generation and audiences,\u201d Gillies explained. \u201cThe gaming industry has done a tremendous job of thinking about community in entertainment \u2013 how to have shared experiences on networks that don\u2019t always support it. We want to be there with that spirit of what the intention is.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Get set for further leaps in technology<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>McDonough spies further significant technical improvements on the horizon, but anticipates the rise of flexible working to have an equally important impact on remote production. \u201cThe genie,\u201d as he said, \u201cis out the bottle there\u201d. Gillies agreed and predicted some \u201camazing leaps\u201d over the next two years, as bandwidth upgrades continue.<\/p>\n<p>Dollin, meanwhile, is hopeful that the spirit of lockdown continues \u2013 \u201cpeople pull together when they\u2019re up against it and I\u2019ve seen that across suppliers and vendors\u201d. He added: \u201cWe were in a pretty good place anyway and we were trying to get to a point when we could do remote production. It\u2019s on everyone\u2019s roadmap anyway. Necessity is the mother of invention and Covid brought it up to high priority. There\u2019s always going to be a need to edit certain assets back at base \u2013 but this is definitely going to be something that people continue because it\u2019s convenient.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/go.pardot.com\/l\/856843\/2020-08-21\/5bfgm\"><button>Watch the session<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                            \n                            \n                            \n                                                    <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"col visibly-hidden col--flex-align-right\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":710,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categories":[19],"pathway":[],"topic":[],"sport":[],"class_list":["post-709","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-digital-media-sport-business"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
