Notes de l'éditeur
-> Memoways = Memory + ways => ways through memory -> endless / infinite stories out of a common shared memory. -> about mixing past (memory) & present (experience) in a personal and engaging story =>
-> trend: video while being mobile (mobile internet + video over the web). People want to be engaged with video while being mobile (over their mobile devices) -> create the condition for networked (connected & living) media. -> modern software architecture: platform around users and projects (like dropbox, evernote etc)
-> working together since 2008, strong collaboration -> UF: strong on creativity, concepts, deep understanding of media landscape -> NG: strong on software architecture and global view (not an extremist), very fast in programming. Pragmatic & -> complementary skills but the same vision (workflow, values, logistics)
-> Working together since 2 years -> strong engagement within the company
-> more people around Memoways (through c-side, freelancers, network of skilled people)
-> video is not native to the web -> be not only passive, but also active ! -> how does classical linear storytelling adapt to the non linearity of the network ? -> the web is not a CD-ROM, a photocopy machine -> broken workflows for media producers (way from camera to the web too long)
-> content should adapt to us and not us to the content -> context aware data -> read + write !
-> use metadata for creative purposes (and not only for management & technical reasons). Metadata frees data from the author ! -> in our data deluge society, sake for our data comes from metadata (independent intelligence on data) -> free ourself from the hardware
-> we know timeline – now we have the spaceline ! From time code to space code… -> storytelling which seamlessly adapts to the user / spectator WHY now ? ->
3 main parts: -> Editing application (for content producer) -> Cloud services (central hub & storage) -> Mobile applications (for the end users)
