Agenda items

• discuss last meeting's presentation

• update from @JT Mere: UCLA TV Film Archive inquiry

  • not digital - next year's big project

  • current head ("Eddie") has been their 30 years - interim

  • metadata and licensing is key

  • "biggest mistake is underestimating the work"

  • no production assets whatsoever

  • archival footage - they license stuff out

  • they negotiate w/studios re: end final product

  • talk to Acting Dean - Brian Kite of School of Theater, Film & Television

• consider various ways we can implement an Asset Repository - for example:

  • a small, curated set of assets representative of the complexity of our members' work (i.e. ORCA) to use for verifying/testing

  • a curated set of "best practice" assets aligned with our industry's needs (USD, HDR, etc.)

  • a curated set of "best practice" assets aligned with our projects needs (EXR, VDB, video footage, etc.)

  • a badging system for discussing/endorsing approaches

  • other suggestions?
