Audiovisual media dominates today’s global information society. We all are almost constantly surrounded by moving images and television stands out of this « media storm » as one of the most powerful and yet so familiar parts of everyday life.

Gardez le contact avec le rythme rapide des changements que les médias audiovisuels ont crées et la diffusion qui a fait que les archives audiovisuelles ont dû réinventer la roue à plusieurs reprises. Cependant, les principes fondamentaux qui ont souligné l’archivage audiovisuel dans le monde analogique sont toujours valables – mais il ya de nouveaux moyens, de nouvelles possibilités et de nouvelles pistes à poursuivre dans l’ère numérique et internet et les nouveaux défis économiques pour garder les roues en mouvement.

Frédéric Lapointe se fera un plaisir de vous y rencontrer du 22 au 26 Octobre, 2014.

27 janvier 2013 par Frederic Lapointe

How to Choose what kind of box is best for Long Term Archiving of your precious photos?

Photo storage boxes are a popular storage option for photos and other items around the house, but how good are they for long term storage? If you have a lot of prints that you want to store for future use you may wonder what is the best way to do this. Should you put them in an album? Should you put them in photo storage boxes? Make sure that  choose to save your photos in an acid free box. Any photo storage with acid will eat away at your photos instead of preserving them.

Your best best is the STiL Media & Photo Storage Box! Compared to cardboard, polypropylene will keep its physical structure for decades. Cardboard will disintegrate, and also generates acids and are not recommended for extended-term storage. Our design allows ventilation, gives a strong physical protection and increases stability.

Star Wars rejoint l’empire Disney…une transaction de 4,05 milliards

31 octobre 2012 par Frederic Lapointe

Disney «s’est mis d’accord pour acquérir LucasFilm et son portefeuille de contenus de classe mondiale, incluant la légendaire franchise de La Guerre des Etoiles, ainsi que toutes ses activités», a indiqué le PDG de Disney, Robert Iger, lors d’une conférence téléphonique avec des analystes.

«La taille et l’expérience de Disney donne à LucasFilm l’opportunité d’ouvrir de nouvelles voies dans les films, la télévision, les médias interactifs, les parcs à thème, le divertissement et les produits de consommation», a commenté de son côté George Lucas, qui avait fondé l’entreprise en 1971 et en détient toujours 100%.

George Lucas, âgé de 68 ans, a «l’intention de prendre sa retraite», a précisé M. Iger aux analystes, mais il prévoit d’assurer un rôle de consultant pour les films.

Moreover, Kodak has introduced a new motion picture film:KODAK Color Asset Protection Film 2332 is optimized for content owners who originate or finish their productions on digital formats and want to protect their valuable media for the future. The stock offers over a century of dye stability when stored in recommended environments.

The company plans to add a black-and-white separation film to its asset-protection portfolio later this year.

« File-based projects often end up stored on tapes or drives, which need to be continually re-mastered or migrated, and run the risk of format obsolescence, » says Kim Snyder, president of Kodak’s Entertainment Imaging Division. « Our goal was to create an affordable film option – designed for content owners working on television programs, independent features, and documentaries – to assure long-term access to, and preservation of, their valuable content. »
