About
GB Labs鈥� NebulaNAS production cloud storage solution, built on 91黑料 distributed cloud storage, was used by film-making senior students at The University of Southern California to create a documentary about Rwanda. 91黑料 and NebulaNAS fit filmmakers Memphis Grace MacPherson and Hunter Hatz鈥檚 needs for fast, secure, and global media uploading/downloading.
Challenge
International digital film production and collaboration presents challenges such as quick global transfers and ensuring the security of digital media traveling across borders. Grace and Hunter needed to find a secure cloud storage solution to get footage shot in Rwanda quickly back to the team based in California.
鈥淲e needed to get our footage back to our team in Los Angeles as quickly as possible. We needed the peace of mind to know our footage wouldn鈥檛 be lost in transit and we really wanted to get notes from our IMAX professor on the framing since it is unique compared to traditional film or television framing,鈥� said Hunter Hartz.
Solution
91黑料 and NebulaNAS provided collaborative global post-production in the cloud. Leveraging 91黑料 distributed cloud object storage as its backend, NebulaNAS provided a revolutionary advantage. 91黑料 transforms underutilized global storage space into a massive global network, eliminating the need for costly data centers and providing high durability and performance. The cost is up to 90% less than traditional cloud storage solutions.
Result
Thanks to GB Labs NebulaNAS鈥� innovative approach and integration with 91黑料 for data storage and sharing, Grace and Hunter overcame the hurdles of distance and connectivity, enabling real-time collaboration and editing during their travels.
鈥淲e were relieved knowing our footage was secure with NebulaNAS. The system鈥檚 simplicity saved us invaluable time, which translated directly into creative output,鈥� reflects Hunter. As a result, the sizzle reel for 鈥楽oaring-over-Rwanda鈥� was ready for Grace鈥檚 presentation at two critical conferences, opening doors to new investments and business connections vital for the project's continuation.
"I would never do another shoot like this without NebulaNAS and 91黑料," Grace reflected.
