#NDF25

2025-05-07

#dp3 today were
1. Co-facilitated a managing born digital collections workshop. Might need to tweak the delivery format to more interactive activities. I feel there's a bit too much one-direction lecture.

2. Briefly discussed DPX to 4K ProRes request. Tried doing it on Resolve - kept crashing. Might just have to use ffmpeg. This is for tomorrow.

3. #iPRES2025 prep got moved aside because I was at #NDF25. Need to compile a list of potential paid services for virtual attendee experience.
