Atomos Connect Camera to Cloud Workflow Success Story - Videoguys

In the blog post “How GMedia tells great stories in no time with Camera to Cloud” by Atomos for Videomaker, the senior producer Joshua Cruse from GMedia shares insights into their video production workflow and how they efficiently tell compelling stories using a Camera to Cloud (C2C) approach. Here’s a summary:

Background:

Joshua Cruse, senior producer at GMedia, began his journey capturing musical performances with a passion for audio and video.

GMedia, the creative agency for Green Machine Ensembles at George Mason University, focuses on showcasing various musical performance groups.

Challenges Before C2C:

Traditional video production workflows led to exhaustion, with long hours waiting for media to off-load onto disks.

Upgrading to high-quality 4K video added to the production team’s burden, as the post-production workflow didn’t keep pace with camera advancements.

Transition to Camera to Cloud (C2C):

GMedia adopted the Camera to Cloud workflow using Atomos Connect module for Ninja and integrated it with the Frame.io creative collaboration platform.

The continuity of using Atomos devices from the late 2010s to the mid-2020s provides a sustainable and cost-effective practice.

C2C workflow proved to be a “magic link” for GMedia, offering cohesion, accessibility from anywhere, and significant time savings.

Benefits of C2C Workflow:

C2C workflow includes Atomos monitor-recorders with C2C connectivity and Frame.io for near-instant file uploads.

Editors can start crafting edits sooner, speeding up post-production, and proxy files stored in Frame.io are perfect for quick social media edits.

Josh emphasizes the importance of proper archiving without sacrificing recording quality for quicker turnarounds.

Real-Time Collaboration with C2C:

A specific example from April 2023 highlights the real-time collaboration aspect of C2C.

A remote producer, Tina, edited footage in real-time from home while Josh, on-site, confirmed shots using an airpod, showcasing the flexibility and efficiency of C2C.

Time-Saving and Future Plans:

Time is emphasized as a non-renewable resource, and the C2C workflow is designed to save time and make the team’s life easier.

Josh and the GMedia team see C2C as a long-term solution, committing to utilizing it as long as Frame.io and Atomos support it, highlighting its transformative impact on their workflow.

In conclusion, GMedia’s adoption of Camera to Cloud with Atomos and Frame.io has not only saved time but has become an integral part of their efficient and innovative video production process, allowing them to tell compelling stories quickly and effectively.

The main reason I think Goncharov worked better as a piece of mass produced fiction over Zepotha really does come down to the basic concepts of each piece. Goncharov had a concrete idea from the start, it was a lost 1973 mafia film directed by Martin Scorsese. Meaning that people new to the joke could more easily understand how to add to the story. Martin Scorsese has an unique style to his films, he has directed multiple mafia/crime dramas that people could pull from to create a cohesive story that sounds plausible for him to have made. People were able to come up with characters (and the actors who played them) and an actual plot by just studying the genre and finding what would work. Zepotha is just marketing a single artist's work under the idea of "an 80's horror film", no director, no actual genre other than "horror" (what kind of horror? Slasher seems to be the most popular, but Zepotha sounds more like a giallo style supernatural horror to me). There's no director listed, so no one knows how this film would play out or look. Because horror is such a vague descriptor here, people are throwing just about everything to the wall to see what sticks, which slows down the actual storytelling potential. People are making up characters first, before a plot leading to there being like 50 named characters, but any actual story is lost. Tldr; Goncharov found it's footing much easier and faster by starting out with a concrete idea, while Zepotha is stumbling because it's vagueness makes it hard for anyone to agree on basic things like story or characters.

Zoom now wants to be known 'as an AI-first collaboration platform'

Zoom now wants to be known 'as an AI-first collaboration platform'

.pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper display:none; img width:100%;

COVID-19 has, in a sense, transformed Zoom from a business-only tool into a household name. Now, the $19 billion video-calling giant is looking to redefine itself, which means leaving behind much of what has made it a mainstay throughout its decade-plus history.

Graeme Geddes, Zoom’s chief growth officer, recently told Fortune, “Zoom is so much more than just video meetings. Video is our heritage—so we’re going to continue to lean in there, push the market, there’s a lot of innovation that we’re doing—but we’re so much more than that.”

The company’s new aspiration? “We want to be known as an AI-first collaboration platform,” Geddes declared. Though the rush to adopt AI is now a staple in the tech industry—with giants like Alphabet and Microsoft regularly discussing the technology on earnings calls—Zoom’s shift neatly dovetails with its efforts to extend its reach beyond simple video conferencing, aiming to enhance overall productivity.

In an effort to better cater to the needs of a hybrid world, Zoom introduced its suite of tools earlier this year for both remote and in-person employees, named Zoom Workplace. This platform includes everything from virtual whiteboards and guest check-ins to workspace booking and tech solutions, as well as feedback forms. Zoom also recently acquired the employee engagement platform Workvivo for approximately €250 million ($272 million). This acquisition, as Geddes points out, “has nothing to do with video.”

Zoom’s evolution extends to customer-facing solutions as well. “We’re helping our customers in the way that their customers show up to their website, having a chatbot automation service that can escalate into a phone call,” Geddes explained. “A lot of workflows that have no video involved.”

This strategic shift comes at a crucial time for Zoom. As businesses increasingly distance themselves from pandemic-era work styles and implement return-to-office mandates, the demand for remote video conferencing has decreased. Consequently, Zoom’s stock has returned to pre-pandemic levels, dropping from a peak of $559 in October 2020 to around $60 currently.

Jacqueline Barrett, an economist and founder of the Bright Arc, reflects on the initial pandemic response: “At the start of the pandemic, I think there were tons of people who flocked to Zoom. There was probably a little bit of overexcitement in terms of the stock, with people anticipating that the growth was going to be like that indefinitely.”

The market landscape has also become more competitive. “There’s so many other players in the market that are offering these new features that have already bundled things together or that are constantly unveiling new features with generative AI,” Barrett added.

“If it’s not the legacy players like Google or Microsoft or Cisco, there’s so many startups that are focused on pretty much every little niche imaginable with generative AI.”

The challenge Zoom faces with this response is not one-dimensional, as evidenced by its varied features. The company is expanding its products and utilising AI to amplify its technical capabilities. For example, as Geddes recounted, Zoom’s AI companion can automate note-taking and brief the next steps or action items during a meeting, whether all attendees are present in the conference room.

However, what’s most intriguing is that this is only the beginning of Zoom’s AI applications; it is also exploring the creation of digital twins or deepfake avatars. Eric Yuan, the founder and CEO of Zoom, stated that the AI-powered avatars would replicate the real owner’s voice and appearance, and also act independently during meetings, making business decisions for the owner.

“Today we all spend a lot of time either making phone calls, joining meetings, sending emails, deleting some spam emails, and replying to some text messages, still very busy,” Yuan explained. “But in the future, I can send a digital version of myself to join so I can go to the beach.”

While this technology is still in development, it has already proven to be a useful AI feature for Zoom. Geddes shared how he used the Zoom smart summary feature to stay informed about meetings during his international travels, enabling him to make important decisions and keep projects on schedule.

As it transitions, Zoom clearly aims to do more than just adjust to the post-pandemic world; it is actively setting the course for the future of work and collaboration. By adopting AI-driven solutions and moving beyond its traditional video conferencing base, Zoom is dedicated to keeping its leading position in business communication and productivity tools as the workplace evolves.
