MovieLabs has announced the formation of a new forum focusing on the future development of professional media creation.
In 2019, the organisation published an industry white paper known as The MovieLabs 2030 Vision. Since then, the Vision’s 10 Foundational Principles have increasingly become goals for the worldwide media industry as it navigates the impact of technologies such as artificial intelligence, it said.
The MovieLabs Industry Forum will aim to further increase collaboration across the professional media arena, with membership now open to technology service providers, creative application and service providers, software development companies, systems integrators and cloud providers. Membership provides a way for direct and deep participation with MovieLabs and its member studios, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures, Universal City Studios, Walt Disney Studios and Warner Bros. Entertainment, said the organisation.
Benefits of membership include:
- Peer-to-peer testing and development of software under the 2030 Greenlight programme
- Member only events
- Early access to prerelease MovieLabs documents, specifications, best practices and recommendations
- The use of exclusive membership branding to demonstrate value alignment
- Participation in working groups focused on delivering specific areas of MovieLabs 2030 work – including security, ontology for media creation and workflow interoperability
Richard Berger, CEO of MovieLabs said: “We’re excited to announce the MovieLabs Industry Forum and invite organisations of all sizes and across the global media creation landscape to join MovieLabs and other industry leaders in accelerating the work we are all doing to help the industry forge ahead in achieving a more secure, interoperable and efficient media creation ecosystem.”
