Abstract

The rise of cloud computing has begun to transform media technology and wider industries. No longer constrained by the relative size of their server network or budget limitations, businesses are taking advantage of cloud computing’s promise to access previously unimaginable computing resources. The film industry in particular has taken advantage of the increased capabilities offered by cloud computing. This recognition has begun a transformation that has spread from major Hollywood studios to smaller independent production companies. Major studios are turning to cloud providers for the creation of Computer Generated Image (CGI) blockbusters, while independent filmmakers are taking advantage of cloud computing’s low costs to create and distribute their films. This resulting “democratization of the film industry” has resulted in a trend towards more independent films being released since 2002.
