    AI in Hollywood: Generative filmmaking and the future of storytelling | The Data Movement

    How is generative AI changing filmmaking and media production in Hollywood? In this episode of The Data Movement, Paul Langston and Erik Weaver, principal of AI and Emergent Media at USC\'s Entertainment Technology Center (ETC), discuss how filmmakers are incorporating generative AI into production workflows and what it could mean for the future of storytelling. At the center of the conversation is The Bends, an experimental short film produced using established filmmaking methods and generative AI workflows. The project highlights how filmmakers are integrating emerging technologies into the creative process while maintaining artistic control. The episode also delves into the broader impact of AI on the entertainment industry, examining everything from digital doubles and actor rights to the technical foundations required for next-generation productions. ⏱️ Chapters (00:00) Introduction (00:53) Eric’s Role at ETC (03:35) Building an AI Film Pipeline (06:15) Hybrid vs. Fully Generative Workflows (07:24) How Studios Are Testing AI Tools (09:02) Stretching Budgets and Empowering Creativity (11:40) Emerging Data Challenges (13:33) Storage and Compliance (15:08) Digital Doubles and Licensing Rights (16:25) The AI Tsunami: Advice for Filmmakers (18:38) When Will We See a Mainstream Generative Film?

    Behind the scenes of the world’s biggest concert film

    What does an everyday video editor have in common with the team behind the biggest concert of all time? We all run on workflows. Go behind the scenes of one of the most ambitious concert film post‑production workflows ever captured. Hear from Blink Productions, Adobe, QNAP, and Seagate on how they collaborated to manage three nights of filming, 100+ cameras, and massive multi-format media. In this video, you’ll learn how teams tackled complex ingest challenges, streamlined proxy creation using DaVinci Resolve, and enabled seamless multi-editor collaboration in Adobe Premiere Pro. Discover how QNAP NAS systems powered by Seagate IronWolf Pro drives delivered the performance, reliability, and scalability required to support parallel workflows, multi-cam editing, and real-time playback. This session also explores VFX and graphics workflows with After Effects, efficient relinking from proxies to full-resolution media, and final color grading for theatrical and streaming delivery. You’ll gain practical insights into handling 4K, 6K, and 8K footage, optimizing storage architecture, and scaling post-production pipelines without slowing down creative teams. Whether you’re a video editor, post supervisor, storage architect, or media professional, this video provides real-world strategies to transform large-scale production complexity into a seamless, high-quality final product. #PostProduction #VideoEditing #PremierePro #DaVinciResolve #VFX #MediaWorkflows

    How Gen AI is reshaping video production with Adobe | The Data Movement

    In this episode of The Data Movement podcast, host Paul Langston talks with Adobe’s Director of Professional Video & Audio, David Helmly and Strategic Business Developer Andy Edwards about how AI is transforming video production, from initial concept to final delivery. With decades of experience across broadcast and post-production, David and Andy explain why every wave of innovation unlocks new creative potential — and how AI is increasing that momentum. Generative AI is reshaping the creative pipeline and driving faster workflows, accelerating data growth, and placing new demands on creative infrastructure. What begins as a simple image or low-resolution asset can quickly evolve into multiple versions, edits and enhanced outputs. As iteration increases, so does the volume and complexity of data. The result is a new production reality: more content, greater iteration and rapidly expanding data requirements that put storage and infrastructure at the center of modern creative workflows. They also examine the growing importance of content authenticity, the ability to train AI models on proprietary data, and the rise of agentic AI within production tools. From assisted editing to automated workflows, creators can move faster while staying in control of the final output. ⏱️ Chapters [01:38] Adobe\'s Seismic AI Shift [03:02] How Broadcasters Are Using AI [05:14] How Adobe Improves its Products for Customers [08:08] The Video Data Explosion [11:32] Provenance and Media Intelligence [13:53] Creative Control with Adobe Firefly [19:11] AI-Assisted Editing [21:44] How Adobe Protects Content Authenticity [24:19] Agentic AI for Video Production [31:10] Advice for Creators Navigating AI [33:41] Lightning Round Q&A Learn more about The Data Movement podcast | https://www.seagate.com/stories/podcast/ #generativeAI #mediatechnology #videoproduction #creativeAI #videoworkflows #Seagate #Adobe #podcast

    The future of mass-capacity storage — with Stephanie Hernandez | The Data Movement Episode 01

    What does it take to physically store the world’s data while addressing its exploding demand for capacity? In this episode of The Data Movement, host Paul Langston sits down with Senior Engineering Director Stephanie Hernandez to unpack Mozaic™ — Seagate\'s revolutionary heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) platform, which pushes hard drive technology into previously impossible territory. Stephanie traces her 15-year path from Ph.D. researcher to leading next-generation storage development. She also breaks down the physics of HAMR and how atomic-scale engineering, precision lasers and new materials like iron platinum allow it to blow past previous capacity limits. During this episode, you’ll gain insights into: · How HAMR works and why it’s a generational leap in recording technology · The superparamagnetic limit and how Seagate continues to defy it · Atomic-scale engineering, integrated lasers and advanced media materials · How Seagate took HAMR from research concept to mass production · Hyperscaler economics and the business case for high-capacity drives · The road to 10TB per disc and beyond Learn more about The Data Movement: https://www.seagate.com/stories/podcast Connect with Seagate: LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/company/2868/ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/seagate Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/seagate X | https://twitter.com/seagate Listen Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/1fMVvSnsV29WzY2GsCfVfB Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-data-movement/id1886184927
